Active Child Spooks and Spoils
Monday, May 31st, 2010
Yep that’s a kid wearing a Chewbacca mask. Totally adorable, right?! Well, this is the cover of Active Child’s new Curtis Lane EP (Merok), and its just as creepy and lovable as this photograph implies. Active Child is Pat Grossi, a Philadelphia Boys Choir alumnus, who layers Antony-esque choral harmonies over luscious synths and drum samples. Grossi’s bold instrumentation reminds me of M83 with a darker, more New-Orderly underbelly.
