- Event Details
- For Pat Grossi of Active Child, the last two years have been nothing short of enriching. Musically, Pat has worked within and appropriated a number of styles into his sound, from his early days singing with that heavenly voice as a choir boy to his more recent forays into laptop-assisted indie-pop made in his bedroom, best exemplified on 2010s acclaimed Curtis Lane EP. His sound is so wide-ranging that he has found himself touring with many notable acts of differing genres, including dubstep producer James Blake, dreamy synth-pop of School of Seven Bells, and the indie-rock bands White Lies and White Rabbits. Nothing quite prepares you for the leap that Pat has taken with his debut album, You Are All I See, out on August 23rd via Vagrant records. Recently, he has expanded his sonic ambitions and turned the studio into an instrument for a record that sounds cosmically huge and yet intimate all the same. Last year, Tri Angle introduced the world to BALAM ACAB (aka Alec Koone), and his otherworldly, secretive sound of submerged bass and phantom vocal harmonies, with the release of his universally acclaimed debut EP See Birds. Tri Angle is now very excited to announce the release of BALAM ACABs debut album, WANDER / WONDER, which will be available worldwide on September 6th, 2011 on CD, LP, and digitally. It was written and produced by Alec Koone and mixed by Alec Koone and Sam Haar (member of Blondes). NPR recently premiered the second single off the album entitled Apart. You can listen to the NPR stream online or via Tri Angles Soundcloud. The first single Oh, Why is also available for download online.

about 1 year agoWhile 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

The Onion A.V. Club on Active Child, Balam Acab, Superhumanoids @ Lincoln Hall
about 1 year agoThe 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
