Above: That’s Passion Pit’s video for “Carried Away,” which will be easy to do this weekend, so be careful. Passion Pit plays Club Nokia on Thursday and Day 1 of Coachella on Friday.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Well, it’s Coachella week, but if you’re not headed to the desert, you’ve got “Mudhoney” playing next Sunday at the Echo. The Seattle veterans just released their ninth album, “Vanishing Point,” and, for all you festival haters out there, they have a song called “Douchebags on Parade.”

@Seraphina_L recommends: Sky Ferreira, How To Dress Well and High Highs on Wednesday. If you’re looking for variety, the Bootleg has you covered with pop star Sky Ferreira, who is working on a full-length but is currently promoting her EP, “Ghosts.” How to Dress Well – aka Tom Krell – has got your ethereal R&B down and New York-via-Australia’s High Highs return to SoCal with their gorgeous folk-pop in support of their debut “Open Season.” Ferreira and High Highs have added a second show on Thursday as well.
