As the chill-wave hype spreads across the blogosphere into the IRL music industry it is a relief to find an artist such as Active Child that brings a sense of warmth and songwriter sensibility to this “genre”. Vocally he is reminscent of Bon Iver, Tunde of TV on the Radio mixed with some Grizzly Bear and some touches of Antony Hegarty. Musically it is beautifully layered subtle synths – so subtle that you don’t notice and just imagine a man with a guitar and his voice. Very refreshing stuff.
