Featured Review from Heave Media
May 14, 2012While Active Child has already achieved a respectable repertoire, the best is still yet to come from Pat Grossi. Only a couple EPs and one full-length exist for him. He’s a rookie. A rookie with a jaw-dropping vocal range, skills on the harp, and an ear for the cinematic. Read more about Active Child at HEAVEmedia.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 04, 2012The solo recording project of L.A.-based Pat Grossi, Active Child brings a glassy beauty to the hazy sounds of contemporary synth-pop on its just-released debut, You Are All I See. The vulnerability of Grossi’s choir-honed tenor could relegate the project to the bedroom, but the dreamy, wide-open arrangements of the eponymous opener and “Johnny Belinda” are destined for greater heights—if only so the ’10s equivalent of John Hughes can have his or her own Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from ChicagoInnerview
May 15, 2012Pop music would sound vastly different today if not for the sonic innovations of Jamaica. Over a half-century-long career as a singer, songwriter, and producer, Lee “Scratch” Perry has presided over pivotal chapters in Jamaican musical history, dating all the way back to reggae’s first stirrings as an outgrowth of ska and rocksteady. In the 1970s Perry ran the fabled backyard studio Black Ark (the suspicious destruction of which cemented Perry’s reputation for erratic and cantankerous behavior), where he produced tunes for Bob Marley and the Wailers, among others. During this era, Perry’s experiments at the mixing desk helped spawn the druggy, effects-laden reggae subgenre known as dub, presaging the vibrant remix aesthetic that has since transformed modern music production. The 76-year-old legend remains as prolific as ever, racking up recent collaborations ranging from the inspired (Keith Richards, The Orb) to the inexplicable (Andrew W.K.).

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 09, 2012As inventive and iconoclastic as any genius hiding out in music history, Lee “Scratch” Perry figures into pretty much every development within reggae music from the time he started working professionally in the late ’60s. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
May 11, 2012On her terrific new album, It All Starts With One (PIAS), Sweden-based, Norway-bred singer Ane Brun uses ambiguity to change her songs’ complexion and leave you guessing. The opener “These Days” might be about accepting a lover’s dimming passion, or about breaking free from addiction while still keeping a wary eye on it: “These days I let you stay / A little further away.” more at chicagoreader.com
