Passion Pit hit the big time with 2012's Gossamer, and it appears the band are finally getting ready to deliver the follow-up in 2015.
 
Over the holidays, the band posted the above photo to Facebook with the caption "Passion Pit 2015." The board behind frontman Michael Angelakos seems to boast the makings of a new album, with track titles blacked-out other than the promise of an intro, some covers and B-sides, plus a tune called "Five Foot Ten."
 
Although no official Passion Pit material has surfaced yet, Angelakos has offered up a reinterpretation of a cheesy classic under his Eastern Shift moniker. The singer takes on Barry Manilow's "Somewhere Down the Road," manipulating it into an entirely new sonic experience.
 
Give it a listen below, as we await further details of the next Passion Pit record.
