Here is the hot ‘n lead video off Passion Pit‘s eagerly anticipated debut LP, which will be out on Frenchkiss Records and Columbia UK next month.

The Reeling vid was inspired by the worn away layers of street art, advertising, and flyers plastered around downtown New York, they set out to create a world of distressed, animated paper. Think: Cases of spray glue, 2 video projectors, a couple of workhorse color copiers, untold reams of paper, 2 mannequins, 4 mexican wrestling masks, a stage full of carboard Moogs, and one 1971 Charger, covered in 3000 sheets of torn flyers.

video directed by the Humble collective.

The concept of this video was that "of creating a light space modulator — a mechanical, kinetic sculpture that demonstrates and harbors movement and light." Read more about the production process. And also watch Moholy Nagi’s kinetic sculpture.

"Boston’s Passion Pit is the brainchild of Michael Angelakos. The Chunk of Change EP was originally put together as a (belated) Valentine’s Day present to Angelakos’ girlfriend".

The video has been directed by The Wilderness, "a partnership of directors, designers, animators, illustrators and editors that work together and independently [...] founded in late 2004 by Juliet Rios and Gabe Imlay".

Art directors: Valerie Gnaedig, Drake Miller. Editor: Lynn Bousquet. Production assistant: Aldo Gonzalez. Post production: The Wilderness.
