Active Child - 'Hanging On'

All of the new material I’ve heard from Active Child’s new album You Are All I See has been pretty stellar so far. Exhibit B is ‘Hanging On’ after his How To Dress Well collaboration, is this week’s Adult Swim Singles Program release. The song is a harp-assisted track that comes across as mournful and tender as something Bon Iver might have recorded. The album is out on August 23rd in the US. A free download will be available tomorrow.
