American electro-pop group Passion Pit is really a one-man show, highlighting the genius and madness of singer and songwriter Micheal Angelakos. Goassamer is his second album, and it could be his Pet Sounds. Initially sounding like a candy-sweet wall of noise, the gritty lyrics tell a different story. Dedicated to the girlfriend who has literally saved his life, Angelakos’ album covers the gloomy themes of suicide, the meaning of life, love as cannibalism, isolation and mental illness with gentle playfulness and eerie beauty.
