“Intrigue over the age and origin of the new Passion Pit video for ‘Sleepyhead’ but it’s quality is not in question…cute and DIY, similar in spirit to how the song was created in the first place in frontman Michael Angelakos’ bedroom…” – Abeano
“We can only assume that this video was made by an earnest artistic videomaker whose concept ‘got the shaft’ after Passion Pit got ‘crazy budgets’ and didn’t need the pro bono work of video artist bros.” – Carles – Hipster Runoff
“DIY lesson on making a video. Get some big colorful circles. Stick the bands’ heads in them. Put hands in the shot, all around their faces. Wait, paint the hands first. Spend most of your money on an editor. Done. Output is the alternative version of Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead.” Go out and try to make it viral. Pencils down.” – Melophobe
“Simple and fun that would probably fit just as easily into a childrens TV as it would in a hipster’s video collection.” – Video Static
“A much more OK GO-viral friendly/literal version of the Sleepy Head video…definitely more fun and less artsy – serious than the original (below) but either way its hard not to enjoy this song.” – Afro Jacks
“Wow, definitely a hot new version of the original “Sleepyhead“. The new visuals are very simple and creative. Budget video I guess but works.” – Ill Vibes
“Kind of reminds us of watching Sesame Street… on acid… but with much cooler music. Not that we’ve ever done that before.” The Sound Loft
“This video (the new one) is better than the “official” one. Why ? Because, this one, is colorful, lo-fi and funny.” – Grand Crew
“This video has a badass color story. Its reminds me of Nintendo in the early 90s.” – The Vivid Hype
