This Tuesday’s ‘Sound of the Day’ marks another clash of two quite different musical worlds that ends up surprisingly well and natural. We got beloved folk siblings ANGUS AND JULIA STONE on one side with their tender track A Heartbreak, taken off this year’s self-titled studio album. And on the other side beloved producer Pat Grossi, acclaimed creator of synthesizer-drenched dreampop worlds with a gentle r&b flavour under the moniker ACTIVE CHILD. Grossi reworked the original in the most delicate way. His additions start quite respectful in the beginning but be sure that the full ACTIVE CHILD madness unfolds right at the end of the track.
The latest release by Grossi was the Rapor EP from last year but he also promised to release new material sooner than later. NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION keeps our eyes, ears and hearts open. In the meantime – enjoy the rework of A Heartbreak right here via Clash Music.
