The first single from American Electro-Pop band Passion Pit’s sophomore album, Gosammer, finds singer Michael Angelakos singing of family financial struggles, including an immigrant relative selling flowers outside Penn Station. “It’s about very specific family members, the male hierarchy, and how the men in my family have always dealt with money,” he explained to MTV News. “I’ve always been really fond of a lot of my family members and not so fond of others. All these men were very conservative; socially very liberal but for some reason, they all came here for capitalism, and they all ended up kind of being prey to capitalism. And I’m not making any political statements or anything, but it’s ironic and it’s sad.”
