After building considerable hype with several critically-acclaimed singles in the UK, ACTIVE CHILD,- the moniker for indie pop artist Pat Grossi - releases his debut US single “She Was A Vision” today via FILTER US Recordings. ACTIVE CHILD will also be playing a handful of showcases at this year's SXSW in Austin, TX.
Featuring various 80s-tinged synths to create ethereal soundscapes, the songs are punctuated by crisp electronic drum samples and handclaps. All of this lays the groundwork for Grossi’s exquisite vocals, which, with their unearthly sound and evocative lyrics, take on an enchanting, hymnal quality.
His six-song EP, is also slated for release later this year.
