Active Child (Pat Grossi) has announced Mercy, his first LP in four years since 2011’s acclaimed You Are All I See. The LP will be out in June 16 via Vagrant Records.

The specifics of the LP are unknown at this point, but Active Child has released the first single from the project in advance, a gorgeous stunner called “1999.” Grossi spoke with FADER regarding the creation of “1999” and what the project means to him.

The words ‘Somewhere between now and 1999’ encapsulate the emotion and meaning of this song to me. Those 16 years span the end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood for me. It’s a song about growing up, a song about the fragility of love, and our instinctual, perpetual search for that someone. I can remember my little nieces and nephews laughing and playing in my studio the day i started work on what would become ‘1999.’ Their innocence and curiosity of everything inspired me that day. There’s a cycle to the song’s structure and lyrics, a repetition that is hypnotic I think, much like the cycle of growing up, its so easy to lose track of time, but always important I think to keep track of your own growth.
