Circles, hands, heads, beats and beards. This previously unreleased video for the Passion Pit indie hit "Sleepyhead" — which predates the official stop motion "Sleepyhead" video by a couple years — is a simple and fun that would probably fit just as easily into a childrens TV as it would in a hipster's video collection. And to be clear: The fact that it leaked with or without the band's consent who either did or didn't reject this video is something that may or may not influence your impression of the song and or video. Cool? (PS: If you dig the official version with the spinning blocks, you should check out this video for Honeycut "Tough Kid" directed by Arno Salters back in 2006: Same rig, same basic concept, but a totally different vibe) --> watch "Sleepyhead" (old/new version)
