My current obsession with Passion Pit for the past few months is not a secret here on BeatCrave. They've been featured as one of our BeatCrave Favs, so it shouldn't be a surprise to know that I am completely stoked for the full-length release, Manners, (due out on May 19th) either. Although "Sleepyhead" will continue to be one of my favorite songs of 2008, their...
