This is lovely. It's by a band called Passion Pit who are one of the fifteen bands on the BBC's Sound of 2009 longlist. I was one of the voters in the poll but chose 1. Little Boots 2. Janelle Monae and 3. The Good Natured as my votes.
The trippy Sleepyhead was released as a single earlier in the year from their Chunk of Change EP and has a dreamy yet scary, weird Kate Bush style falsetto being patched together by the Avalanches sound to it. It's simply three minutes of gorgeously delirious fun. The buzz for these Massachusets boys started round CMJ time and I'm pretty sure they're going to be one of those bands that the hipsters heart until they get popular at which point they'll be hated (cf Vampire Weekend). They're recording their debut album now and will be playing in the UK in February.
