passion pit : take a walk (stream)

first song off of passion pit's forthcoming sophomore effort streaming below. if you liked passion pit before (or matt and kim now), you'll probably really enjoy this jam. and if you have a problem with the helium-level falsetto that passion pit brainchild michael angelakos usually sings in, you might find this a little more palatable.
