Active Child's LP You're All I See will grow on you

Active Child's debut LP You're All I See has really grown on me.  For those of you that haven't heard them yet, it's a lot like Bon Iver but more melodic.  It's surprising to read Pat Grossi lives in Los Angeles because this moody music reminds me more of somewhere far colder and darker. Maybe, that's his New Jersey roots coming through. 

His video for "Johnny Belinda" makes me think of Bon Iver hanging out on the set of Valhalla Rising.  You just have to watch the video to get that connection.  This song is epic in it's mood.

The song "Playing House" features How To Dress Well.  It's more R&B influenced than the other songs on his LP but most likely because of the influence of How To Dress Well. Either way, it's worth adding to your playlist.
