    It’s a very well-rounded EP--every box is ticked--and we’re left clamouring for more when the dust has settled.

    Grossi's ability to deftly assimilate these more pop-oriented artists into his oeuvre is a testament to his growth since You Are All I See, resulting in his most confident release to date.

    It stands before you with the reverence of a cathedral and leaves you with a lasting sense of piety and clarity.

    It might not be the full-length follow-up to You Are All I See that Active Child fans are waiting for, but brevity aside, the high quality of the songs on Rapor more than fulfills on Grossi's promise.

    Grossi’s signature touches are all here—the angelic soprano, arpeggiating synths and grooving percussion all bundle the EP together nicely--while the guest appearances provide distinctiveness to an effort that may have otherwise been too cohesive.

    Rapor is an absorbing and accomplished 80’s sheened synth-pop EP infused with heartache and imagination.

    Rapor doesn’t push any boundaries or break the speed of light, but it constructs its fragile, fervid, and elegant confections with laserlike precision.
