Editor's note

Active Child's melancholic electronic textures

Pat Perez's project builds atmospheric songs around piano and vocals, often exploring love and loss.

For that atmospheric electronic feel, 'Hanging On' gives you the basic shape. 'Silhouette (feat. Ellie Goulding)' shows how the vocals work with those textures.

Active Child's music settles into its own atmospheric space rather than chasing pop hooks. Songs like 'Hanging On' and 'Silhouette (feat. Ellie Goulding)' show that electronic melancholic feel built around Perez's voice. Tracks such as 'Weightless' and 'In Another Life' fit that introspective mood about love and loss.

Pat Perez started using the Active Child name around 2009. The first album 'You Are All I See' came out in 2011, followed by others like 'Rapor' in 2013 and 'Mercy' in 2016. The project has involved other musicians at times, like drummer Joey Waronker.
