Passive Me, Aggressive You (Remixes & B-Sides) (stylised as Passive Me • Aggressive You (Remixes + B-Sides)) is the first compilation album by New Zealand indie electronic band The Naked and Famous. Released on 15 April 2013, the album contains remixes and B-sides from their debut studio album, Passive Me, Aggressive You (2010), along with the song "A Source of Light", a collaboration with New Zealand duo Kids of 88.

Background

Thom Powers, guitarist and vocalist for the band stated that because some of their tunes mysteriously vanished, and that some parts of the world were unable to procure some of their songs, that this album was a way to package all of the rare and unheard tracks.
