Kindred, Passion Pit's third album, arrived on Columbia in April 2015, and the rollout was half the fun. Michael Angelakos announced it on Twitter the summer before, then the band scattered coded images across social media, one of them in Morse code, before their old website sprang back to life as KindredTheAlbum.com with a 13-second teaser and a shot of Angelakos in mid-leap. "Lifted Up (1985)" landed on YouTube in February as the lead single.
Passion Pit started in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2007, but it has always mostly been Angelakos, the singer and keyboard player who does the bulk of the recording himself. Coming three years after Gossamer, their first top-10 album, Kindred is electropop turned all the way up: fizzing synths, sugar-rush hooks and choruses built for festival fields. The next one, Tremendous Sea of Love, the band put out themselves in 2017.
