Take A Walk by Passion Pit

This song was released only a week ago at Pitchfork.com, so it's pretty fresh. It's the band's first single for their third album, Gossamer, which will be released July this year. The thing is, I wasn't really familiar with Passion Pit until I came across their song feature in Pitchfork (I was there listening to Ice Choir's new single!). Five seconds into Take A Walk, and I was all ready to swear by it. That's the thing about good records and films--it only has to take a few seconds for you to know. Sure enough, I had the song on loop for an hour! A little dancing might have also been involved. Take A Walk is just a perfect beach song. The cherry-on-top of your summer playlist. Suddenly, I regret not taking videos from my recent trip to Boracay; this would have been the perfect background music. Good thing we still have a few weeks of summer left! So, what beach to, next?
