New Ra Ra Riot - "Ghost Under Rocks (Passion Pit Remix)"

thumbnail icon: New Ra Ra Riot - "Ghost Under Rocks (Passion Pit Remix)"

It's a match made in blog heaven, these two getting together on a track like this: "Ghost Under Rocks" sees Ra Ra Riot at the height of their melodramatic, orchestral pop powers; Passion Pit are an ascendant band that make highly bloggable electro-singles. And the results are, well if you've ever heard "Ghost Under Rocks" and a Passion Pit track (or any Hypem-baiting promo remix before really) (and come now you're reading a music blog), you already know how this one goes. Still there may be a few moments of novelty to it for your next DJ set. Try it:

Great remix. Allie's vocals are way clearer and easier to hear which is an added bonus.
