Review

Passion Pit's sophomore album, "Gossamer," dropped in 2012 and immediately proved to be a synth-pop powerhouse. Lead singer Michael Angelakos' falsetto is electric, especially in tracks like "Take a Walk" and "I'll Be Alright." These songs highlight the band's talent for creating infectious electro-pop anthems that you can't help but dance to.

The production of "Gossamer" is nothing short of polished and refined. With intricate arrangements and smart use of instrumentation, each track dives into themes of love, guilt, and catharsis. Songs like "Carried Away" and "On My Way" perfectly balance euphoric, danceable beats with strong storytelling.

Upon its release, "Gossamer" garnered critical acclaim for its honesty and musical sophistication. It debuted at an impressive number four on the Billboard 200 chart and earned a spot on numerous "Best of 2012" lists. This album is a testament to Passion Pit's knack for creating music that's both catchy and deeply moving. - Courtney
