The Pass

INDIE, SYNTH-POP, PSYCHEDELIA
ARTIST:
The Pass
TITLE: Colors EP
TRACKS: “Colors," “Crosswalk Stereo”
STREET DATE: 2/23/10
LABEL: sonaBLAST! Records


The Pass may sound quite similar to what's been up and coming in the Indie world for the past couple of years, but what sets them apart is there unique blend of psychedelia and dance. I mean, take a listen to their 80s pop synthesizers mixed with grooving guitars. Its different enough not to make sense, but bring in melodic yet flat vocals, and you got yourself one hell of an indie pop band.

Influenced by Justice, LCD Soundsystem and Daft Punk this quartet hails from New Jersey (JERSEY....where you at, YO!) and Kentucky, and merged together at the University of Louisville to shape their irresistible and danceable grooves. These young cats, in their early twenties, just released this five song EP titled "Colors." They are working on their debut full-length album, to be mixed by Alex Aldi (Passion Pit), to be released this summer.
