Passion Pit<\/a> will mark the 10th anniversary of their debut LP, Manners<\/em>, with a North American spring tour. The 18-date trek launches April 30th in Tempe, Arizona and wraps May 25th in Washington D.C. A VIP pre-sale begins Tuesday, February 5th at 10 a.m. local time, and a general sale launches Friday, February 8th at 10 a.m. local time, the group posted on Facebook<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Angelakos, the band\u2019s frontman and chief songwriter, released the fourth and most recent Passion Pit LP, Tremendous Sea of Love<\/em>, in 2017. His broke out to widespread acclaim with 2009\u2019s Manners<\/em>, which followed his 2008 EP,\u00a0Chunk of Change<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Angelakos has yet to announce another Passion Pit album. In July 2017, four months after the release of Tremendous Sea of Love<\/em>, he seemingly alluded to a hiatus from the project, tweeting<\/a>, \u201cUntil it is safer and healthier for us to be advocates, to be writers, producers and performers, I simply cannot continue making music\u201d; however, he clarified in a subsequent statement to Pitchfork<\/a> that the band will continue to make music and he\u2019s stepping back from being \u201ca commercialized artist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI cannot continue to operate in this space, this industry, due to the way that it functions and treats people that work for it or create within it. It does nothing to promote the health required in order to produce the work it sells. The risks associated with being a commercialized artist and embarking on a typical album release, like endless promotion and touring, have nearly killed me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Angelakos reflected on Manners<\/em> in a 2015 Medium<\/a> interview, saying that time period was \u201cconfusing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was in the middle of these different record deals, and so there was the business side that was coming up, and I was no longer a student anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that was confusing. I didn\u2019t know what I was doing with my life. I was recording a record but I didn\u2019t know where it would lead. I was single and was no longer with my now ex-girlfriend. Everything was totally in the air. I think that\u2019s why that record makes a lot of sense to me now: I\u2019m always in limbo. All the records seem very pretty to me, but I also find them to be really, really sad. They bring up memories now that I didn\u2019t have before. But I was just trying. I was just trying to do something. They were valiant efforts to do something beautiful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
