Task Three – Analyse the Artist

Passion Pit




Passion Pit are an American band formed in 2007. The style of Passion Pit is said to be Indietronica. This is a fusion of the styles rock, pop, electronica, and indie. The instruments used by the band are keyboard, guitar, bass, and synthesiser. The band had originally started as a one-man project by the lead singer Michael Angelakos. He produced an EP titled 'Chunk of Change' for his girlfriend for valentines day. A band was then formed to perform these songs live which later became Passion Pit. This is why some of the songs seem to be romantic expressions.

The band's image is not very eccentric although it is not boring either; as a group they all seem to wear different clothing although it doesn't look odd. An example would be in the image below where they are all wearing different styles of clothing but they look good together. The way that they dress links to their music as they are an indie band. This means that they are independent and have a sort of 'do it yourself' attitude, so they chose what they want to wear.


The band's music is very consistent and relates to their overall style. They are really colourful and individual. The website for the band links to their style as it is very 'indie'. The website is very interactive and includes many photographs with filters and vivid colours. This is very 'space-like' with the blurred background filters, which is mimicking of the band's music. They use synthesisers which make them sound very futuristic.
