Who is passion pit touring with 2017

The reminder that touring is worth its many struggles was a fitting start to the Manners 10 Years Anniversary Tour, which is crossing the U. His time in the spotlight has been a rollercoaster, and he redirected his efforts to activism. Specifically, The Wishart Group was founded to provide healthcare, legal, educational and other services to artists.

That was two years ago, and Passion Pit has only made short runs since then. But now, Passion Pit has rediscovered the power of a live show, especially when it features the nostalgia and celebration of an iconic album like Manners that defines an era for the fans.

That's tough, but also awesome. It's amazing. The last big press cycle you did, that was when you went public with bipolar disorder. Seeing you out in the world talking about it, contributing to PSAs , has been so powerful.

What's changed for you in the three years since that happened? Really what I'm here for is to make stuff, quite literally. That's what I love to do. That's why I was even given the opportunity to be an advocate for it as well. I was creating things and connecting with people. I want to make sure that when I am advocating, it's truly advocacy. It's powerful and cannot in any way be taken as press, like PR.

I understand why because there are so many fake attempts to utilize these type of issues to get press that's positive. That's not my issue at all. I could care less what people think.

I just want to make sure I can still have my career and it's not about being bipolar. It's about me creating things and doing things, people saying they like it or they don't like it.

I can keep my advocacy over here and it can remain as powerful as it ever can be. It's about finding that balance, I guess. Do you think talking about it publicly has influenced your art?

Well, yeah. I talk about the fact that I talked about it on "Kindred," even. Not in a way where it's changed my approach to it sonically or anything. I'm just kind of over it now. It's almost like I had to keep addressing it to a certain degree because I haven't fully closed the chapter on it.

Now I feel like I kind of have. That "Gossamer" period is essentially done, but it still takes a conversation like this, for instance, to move on. We haven't concluded, really. At some point we will and I'm looking forward to that.

At the same time I'm grateful I've been given the opportunity to help. I'll continue to. As long as I can still have my life. It's a weird thing. Such an awesome and energetic show! They played the perfect mix of tracks from each album so the crowd sang along to most of the set. Michael's vocals were so on point and the light show was very visually pleasing A fan for life!

And, the years we spent touring in support of it were never easy, especially in the beginning, as though playing the songs every single night were a form of exposure therapy in front of an audience. Ten years later, Manners seems to finally feel like the moment that it was: a tectonic shift during the strangest, most defining year of my life.

To me, and to many of the people closest to the project, Manners has always been the most deeply misunderstood Passion Pit album. Eleven years after I began writing it, and ten more struggling to comprehend it, it suddenly does not seem so frivolous or self-absorbed to celebrate Manners —to celebrate surviving it, to get another chance to shine a certain light on it, but without the fear and the pain that went into making it.
