Indie rock dudes singing falsetto can, at times, be a bit off-putting. It isn't a macho or manly sound. It isn't very inviting, either; but somehow, Pat Grossi (Active Child), and others like him, are able to make it work beautifully. On You Are All I See, Grossi invents an intricate, layered arrangement of sounds that transform his voice into an instrument itself. You are enveloped in their expansive depths. He invites you in to close your eyes, hold his hand, and float away with him. You Are All I See is a conversation, and intimate relationship, between an artist and a listener.
