I've heard "Live to Tell the Tale" played at the GAP Outlet I work at all summer long. I heard other Passion Pit songs there and was happy, but did not realize it was a Passion Pit song. Long story short, today (two days before my contract at GAP is terminated) I was finally able to discern more lyrics then "whatever happens to you" (due to a particularly strong lull in back-to-school frenzy) and successfully googled the lyrics, discovering the name of the song! I'm so fucking pleased.

For reasons unknown to me, Passion Pit forgot how to toe the line between whimsical and just plain irritating. Still, when they were created, they did know how, and they do it very well on Chunk Of Change. Things are cute, but never too cute. Things are sappy, but never too sappy. The result is an infectiously fun electropop/indietronica record that is brimming with charm. Some moments on this EP might slightly overstep the boundary, but for the most part everything is done in good taste. Take for instance that really catchy synth chorus in "Sleepyhead". That easily could have been overdone, but it was done tastefully, and thus retains its charm. In all, it's a good, fun electropop EP with some wonderful synth melodies.

Michael Angelakos' 4 song dedication to his girlfriend, in addition to the tracks "Better Things" and "Sleepyhead" makes this a fun and whimsical musical experience.

Quirky and delightful, with a bouncy production and sweet lyrics. I especially enjoy "Smile Upon Me." The only real hindrance to this group is that Michael Angelako cannot sing. I mean, he's close to tone deaf. While that undoubtedly is charming to some, it sucks for those of us who have perfect listening pitch and who cringe on every flat or outright incorrect note. I find myself singing along just so I can hear the notes that he's trying to reach.
