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 Chicago Reader
May 06, 2012Everyone has one song they’re willing to break out at any social occasion, absolutely certain it’ll be a hit no matter who’s there. For the second half of the aughts, I would play Electric Six’s “Danger! High Voltage” whenever a party looked like it was headed for an early demise. I’d sing it whenever the queue at a karaoke bar got clogged with requests for sappy, melodramatic ballads. Basically, whenever I had a spare moment, you were going to hear that song.more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 04, 2012Andrew Bird’s songwriting approach is seemingly paradoxical, at once highly improvisational and long-simmering, with material sometimes taking years to finally gel together. The results are familiar to anyone who’s followed his string of breezily baroque albums over the last decade, full of virtuosic and engaging interweavings of melodies and loops spun from violin, whistling, guitar, and Bird’s warbling tenor. While his songs are elegantly crafted and artfully arranged, he’s careful not to lose the sense that music is about creating a space to explore, to wander through, and maybe even get lost in. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
May 03, 2012Andrew Bird is perhaps the most famous indie violin rocker in the scene today. That’s not exactly saying much since it’s pretty much a two man race between him and the guy from Final Fantasy. But fame aside, what Andrew Bird really is is really good. Talk about an imaginative artist. Bird does this interesting thing where he plucks and bows his violin, then immediately samples the results, layering sounds with guitars, whistles, glockenspiels and, of course, vocals.

Featured Review from flavorpill
May 05, 2012“Tom Colicchio has professed his love for beef jerky, Mario Batali cops to an affection for Doritos, and Gordon Ramsay owns his sweet spot for gummy sweets; nonetheless, snacks remain second-class citizens in the food world. No more, say the peckish-and-proud folks behind The Snackpot, a new Chicago-based snack-review website slated to launch May 7. The site boasts an impressive roster of contributors, including authors, journalists, and music critics (sample their nosh-focused interviews with artists at last year’s Pitchfork Music Festival); and the launch party features similarly appetizing DJ sets, readings, and, yep, snacks, courtesy of Pop Chips, Pretzel Chips, and former Top Chef contestant Chuy Valencia.”

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 04, 2012Not enough has been written about just how soft and satisfying a fresh Twinkie is on a car trip or how prepared foods from 7-Eleven stacks up to those from other convenience stores. At least, that’s the premise behind the new website The Snackpot, which launches this week out of Chicago. more at avclub.com
