Pop Cultured: Active Child

From his childhood with a father that worked for the Priority Records rap label to his days in Philadelphia Boys Choir and throwing parties in churches Pat Grossi aka Active Child has some exciting stories to tell. Here he shares some of the other things that inspire his glacial soul-pop music.

Videos

I came across this amazing video a while back on one of my favorite sites. Fast forward to about six minutes in and get ready for inventor John Underkoffler to blow your mind and confuse it, simultaneously.



Record



Sufjan Stevens' album Illinoise, easily one of my favorite albums. Still waiting for him to follow this one up. I guess I'll just have to replay it for the 50th time for now.

Artwork



Faile is a Brooklyn art collective that recently blew my mind with this insane installation of a temple in Lisbon

Daytrip


I recently had a day off in England and spent the afternoon exploring the Peaks district of Derbyshire. I highly recommend it if you want to get out of the city.

Something We Know

Well, I released my EP Curtis Lane just last month which I am very excited about and I have a two month tour this fall with School of Seven Bells which will be amazing, so check the dates and hope to see you there!

Something New

I will have a few singles and collaborations coming out this fall before my full length, so keep your eyes peeled!
