Gossamer by Passion Pit
Gossamer is an album by Passion Pit, released in 2012. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 53 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Take A Walk”, on 43 lists with a best position of #3.
Gossamer, Passion Pit's second album, arrived on July 20, 2012, through Columbia and Frenchkiss, recorded in Los Angeles and New York City during 2011. Michael Angelakos, the band's frontman, keyboardist and main recording force, produced it with Chris Zane, who had also produced the 2009 debut Manners.
This is electropop cranked to maximum sugar: synths stacked sky-high, Angelakos' voice riding up over the top of it all, and hooks designed to lodge in the head for days. "Take A Walk" and "Carried Away" were the ones that caught on. Angelakos had been talking up the follow-up to Manners as early as 2010, and when it finally landed it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, the band's first top-10 album.
