Boston's celebrated electro art-pop outfit Passion Pit will be releasing their highly anticipated full-length Manners in May -- and what better way to celebrate electro art-pop than... a booze cruise?!

Ok ok, we agree -- it may have been a little cooler to celebrate with a trip on the Chicken Bus, but you just can't pack the numbers in on that thing way you can on a boat.

Summer tour dates have also been announced. Seems like just a few months ago that Passion Pit, playing Glasslands on their Low-Fi EP, was merely a spark in the synapses of emerging-music consciousness. Oh wait, that was just a few months ago. And here they are now with two consecutive June shows already sold out at Bowery Ballroom. Hey, smoke if you got 'em, right?
