Packing further landmarks into a year that has already included three sold out nights at New York’s Terminal 5 and a triumphant UK tour, Passion Pit has confirmed an April 13 release date for the deluxe reissue of its highly acclaimed debut album, Manners (frenchkiss/Columbia). The expanded edition of the record that landed the band on the Best of 2009 lists of NPR, Pitchfork, Time Out New York, The New York Post, Stereogum and more, will feature brand new artwork and three bonus tracks: vivid, bare bones “Stripped Down” versions of the original album’s “Sleepyhead” and “Moth’s Wings,” and the cover of the Cranberries’ “Dreams” that’s become a highlight of recent Passion Pit live shows. The unstoppable force that is the Passion Pit live experience returns to North America at the end of March, for a spring/summer tour that has already sold out shows in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Vancouver and more, necessitating additional shows and moves to larger venues in multiple markets. Following on the instantaneous sell-out of all 6200 tickets for its June 29 show at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, Passion Pit has just announced the addition of a second New York show to the current tour. The additional show will take place June 30 at Governor’s Island and will feature special guests Tokyo Police Club.
