Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, You Are All I See, Pat Grossi hit the road for two non-stop years of US and European headline tours (“a frequently stunning set” Evening Standard), sharing stages with the likes of M83 and James Blake.
“Being on the road for that long was exhausting, frustrating at times, but it was occasionally highlighted with the most profound outpouring of emotion” explains Grossi. “There is no way to really explain the feeling of a complete stranger coming up to you after a show and wrapping their arms around you. It was in those moments that I realized where I fit in, I guess you could say I found my place as an artist. And it pushed me further than I ever thought I could go.”
After this international run was through, Grossi returned to Los Angeles with a new inspiration and vision for his next release. Named after the mountaintop home studio to which he retreated, ‘Rapor’ is the first complete body of work to emerge since 2011.
