Passion Pit to Play Boulder Theater, 5/27

Go back to the beginning of Passion Pit, because we have never left that time. Rewind. Musicians are tuning up in the orchestra pit at the Met. This is too close to now, but this sound is important. Rewind further back. A group of kindergarteners run and shout on a playground. We have gone too far in the past, but this sound is also important. These are sounds that will percolate through Michael Angelakos' pop project.

Jump to 2014. Michael is bouncing around in a music studio. The music he has made is blaring over the monitors, a looped sample of religious chanting, sped up into a swirl until it sounds like children in a schoolyard. Drums boom, like timpanis in the orchestra pit. He is singing over the top, as if on stage, pacing and jumping as if he were performing, making up melodies and lyrics on the fly. Chris Zane and Alex Aldi, coRE: KINDRED olumbia Records 550 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022-3211 producers and engineers, watch in the control room, waiting for Michael to break through with the right melody. This is how Kindred is written. "Every other time you set out to make a masterpiece, you never do," Michael says. "This time I just wanted to make a good record." Kindred is an album about family. Not blood relations, but the community of friends we build for ourselves. This is our family. "I've gone through my entire damn life feeling like I can't connect with a single person, but always wanting to so badly," Michael says. You dive deeper and deeper, the world gets darker, then what you finally realize is everyone else is down there in the dark too. We are alone, but alone together.
