Just when you wouldn’t think I could post another Sleepyhead remix or come up with a single original phrase about Passion Pit, a fantastic new track hits the blogosphere. Starsmith & Ellie Goulding‘s rework of Sleepyhead is just as beautiful as Passion Pit’s original. Goulding’s vocals are beautifully fragile and provide nice support for the [...]

Transforming Passion Pit‘s Sleepyhead into a banger was never going to be a successful project.

The Knocks funk up Sleepyhead

January 9, 2009

Sleepyhead was easily one of my favorite tracks of 2008. The beautiful and weird sounds that Passion Pit put together were close to being perfect in the original version, and I must admit that I never really imagined that the track was suitable for remixes. Nevertheless The Knocks took Passion Pit’s original for a spin. [...]
