Passion Pit announces tour, release debut LP on May 26

Passion Pit, the much buzzed about electro-rock band fronted by Michael Angelakos, is set to release their debut full-length, Manners, on May 26th. The album follows the band's stellar EP, Chunk of Change, which was released last year to widespread acclaim, and promises to bring more of the same funky, keyboard-heavy pop music that impressed so many people.

You can hear the album's first single, "The Reeling," over at Passion Pit's Myspace page. The song is infectious and danceable, and should get pretty much everyone excited to hear the rest of Manners in May. You can also take a look at the band's tour schedule below. I imagine tickets will be going quickly with the way these guys have taken over the indie scene.
