Put your hands into the flame
If you were into the 80s soft rock/R&B style of last year's indie super-project Gayngs like I was, then you will go crazy for Active Child's new LP You Are All I See, released in August. LA-based singer/harpist/producer Patrick Grossi is clearly a man of many talents, and the way he layers his sultry choir-boy falsetto over enchanting harp strings, smooth electronic waves, and dark cavernous beats is truly tantalizing. Since the release of Curtis Lane last July, a remarkable but experimental EP with various styles on different tracks, Grossi has finally chosen his musical identity and very eloquently presents it on this new full-length album. These two tracks are a nice little sample, and he is actually providing a basically free download (for the cost of a tweet!) of "Hanging On," so if you like it head over to his website and download it.
He has been receiving quite a bit of attention in the blogosphere, aided by his association with the recently explosively popular M83 (also worth a listen), with whom he is currently on tour. I just discovered that they are actually playing at Lincoln Hall tonight, but it is sold out get over there and scalp some tickets!
