Despite being about to officially release his latest album 'Tremendous Sea Of Love' this Friday (28th July), Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos has announced his plans to put the project on hiatus.
Explained in a series of tweets yesterday (24th July), the producer has cited his state of mental health as the reason behind the break. Angelakos has been very open about his struggles with bipolar disorder in the past, but now looks to make his recovery a priority over his music.
You can see the full string of tweets below.
Until it is safer and healthier for us to be advocates, to be a writers, producers, and performers, I simply cannot continue making music.

You're either committed to it or not. To raise awareness one moment and announce a show the next doesn't help me. It hurts me. And others.

I love Passion Pit and I love music even more. When something would be wrong, I'd try to ignore it. Then I'd almost die. Really.

History loves to repeat itself and it's because of systems and their flaws. So, I decided to make solving this issue my priority for now. xo
