Si hay una persona que desde tiempos remotos ha sido muy claro con los problemas de bipolaridad por los que atraviesa, ese es Michael Angelakos de Passion Pit.
Incluso, no es de extrañarse que para lanzar su más reciente álbum haya decidido lanzar una fundación que recauda fondos para ayudar a músicos y artistas que están pasando por esta situación y con ello evitar que ocurran tragedias como las que hemos visto en lo que va del año.
Es por eso que, justo en medio de otro momento donde los conflictos personales se apoderaron de él, Angelakos tomó su cuenta de Twitter para compartir una serie de mensajes donde menciona que aunque siempre se encuentra componiendo música nueva, por el momento le pondrá un alto a las actividades de Passion pit con un hiatus indefinido.
Chequen los tweets después del salto.
Bipolar disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability in the world. (via WHO). I have bipolar I disorder (and a hell of a lot of luck)❤️

Many people congratulate me on»recovering» — a compliment, actually, but complicated. Mental health awareness often just lead to… that.

Who could blame people for not understanding something that scientists, doctors, advocates, and patients say they also do not understand?

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

how many more episodes of behind the music do we need? how many more artists need to die? sexual harassment lawsuits need to be thrown out?

i make so much music on a regular basis. the only way i can do that is because i work really hard to stay healthy. better health = more art

El más reciente álbum de Passion Pit lleva por nombre Tremendous Sea of Love, y aunque pasó un poco desapercibido durante el primer semestre del año, próximamente será publicado de forma oficial en formato físico.
Desempolven un clásico de la banda a continuación y esperemos que todo salga chido con Michael Angelakos.
