I like Passion Pit’s Manners, but I understand why a lot of people would be turned off by their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to music. These guys didn’t waste any of their label-allotted studio time, cramming their debut with all sorts of synths, drum beats and children’s choirs.

The track comes bundled with…
Biggest musical surprise of the year so far? MiChi’s Therapy, which I reviewed in The Japan Times today. This is a great album, packed with energetic post-Perfume singles that conceals a forward-thinking edge most J-Pop…and, to be honest, a lot of the indier stuff in this country…lacks.
