Some great ethereal synth-heavy pop courtesy of Active Child (LA’s Pat Grossi). He just released a really impressive, limited-edition white vinyl 7″ on Transparent Records. Aside from a limited cassette-only release called Sun Rooms that came out recently, the guy doesn’t have a whole lot available for purchase, but he has the right idea….release a few songs, see who bites, and build up some demand. I really love this stuff. If you’re into Grizzly Bear, Washed Out, Final Fantasy, etc, you will most likely love this too.
