Picture this: It’s 2008, the iPhone is barely a year old, there’s this new movie Twilight<\/em> that everyone’s talking about, and Passion Pit<\/a> just released their debut single, “Sleepyhead.”<\/p>\n

Now, nearly two decades later, SOFI TUKKER<\/a> have joined forces with Passion Pit to release a reimagined version of the indietronica band’s ageless earworm. “Sleepyhead 2025” interpolates frontman Michael Angelakos’ unmistakable vocal chops through a blissed-out four-on-the-flour beat, showcasing the production prowess of the genre-defying duo.<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t want to change the direction of the song too much, just modernize it and sonically bring it into the SOFI TUKKER world,” they said in a press release. Listen to the new track below.<\/p>\n

SOFI TUKKER’s Tucker Halpern said the original “Sleepyhead” was one of his all-time favorite songs back in high school and “soundtracked so many pivotal moments with [his] friends.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I recently met Michael Angelakos and we instantly connected,” Halpern recalled. “I told him how much his music had inspired me. After talking about how much the industry has changed since he released Manners<\/em> [the album featuring [‘Sleepyhead’], we decided to bring the track back in 2025 for a new generation.”<\/p>\n
