Active Child: Pat Grossi is walking in the air
Active Child, aka pale skinned, strawberry-blonde LA resident Pat Grossi, seemed to come out of nowhere this year, but tracking back on music blog aggregator Hype Machine reveals that a handful of his songs have been creeping across the blogosphere since August 2009.
The influential Transparent blog first posted “She Was a Vision”, leading to coverage on everything from monolithic US tastemaker site Pitchfork to über-blogs Stereogum and RCRD-LBL to homegrown champions of all things indie The Line Of Best Fit, and culminating in an impressive internet-led word-of-mouth following.
