Sounds like we’re under new MGMT: Cambridge-bred cool jammers Passion Pit (above, myspace.com/passionpitjams) and their first full-length, Manners (Frenchkiss Records), have all the hallmarks of this summer’s it-band. Like the “Kids” kids, they’ve got psych-rock heroes (it’s one fantastic trip from the Beatles to Animal Collective) and ridiculous pop hooks. They, too, mix synthy disco with sweet-voiced children in chorus. And their first single, “The Reeling,” is as crankable—and endlessly remixable—as “Electric Feel” ever got.
