    As it stands, You Are All I See is a very solid debut from a remarkable talent. I fully expect nothing but greater things in the future.

    You Are All I See is the debut album from Active Child, the band that Los Angeles singer-songwriter Pat Grossi has steadily built around his sweeping harp, pining falsetto, and shuddering beats.

    Seeing this is Grossi's first full-length, it's an achievement, and although it fizzles out near the end, the killer tracks far eclipse the lesser numbers.

    It's all precisely mixed and impressively textured, but lacks Blake's more raw, emotional connection.

    So vastly unique and a real fresh take on bedroom pop. Even the weakest songs in the middle of the record have a certain air around them.
