Adult Swim and Kia present 10 singles in 10 weeks

Last year Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, in partnership with KIA, launched a singles series called 8 singles 8 weeks. Every Monday for eight weeks, they would release a never before heard track on their website. Some of the tracks included in the 2010 series are Cults "Oh My God", Washed Out feat. Caroline Polachek "You and I", and an original Holy Ghost! Adult Swim remix of LCD Soundsytem's "Drunk Girls".

This series returns this year a little more ambitious with 10 tracks in 10 weeks. The 2011 series began with the release of Ford & Lopatin's "Too Much MIDI (Please Forgive Me) on Monday, June 6th and will end July 26th. Some artists included in this new series are Best Coast, Mastodon, The Rapture and also previously DD'd jj (collaborating with Ne-Yo) and Active Child.

Single #1 Ford & Lopatin "Too Much MIDI (Please Forgive Me)"

2010 single Cults "Oh My God"

Active Child releases "Playing House" Feat. How To Dress Well

"This aint no bedroom recording!"

L.A. up-and-comer turned all star Active Child dropped the first single today for his upcoming debut full length You are All I See, out August 23 on Vagrant Records. "Playing House" features Active Child's well known harp skills and crystalline synth lines, with guest vocals from How To Dress Well's R&B-minded Tom Krell. This smooth jam displays more swagger than you can shake a stick at, and these boys are getting plenty of shakes. Don't believe me, just visit Active Child's facebook - homeboy's been getting blown up all day.

You Are All I See is the follow-up to 2010's out of nowhere and completely irresistible Curtis Lane EP. After extensive touring with groups like the trio-turned-duo and Vagrant label mates School of Seven Bells, Patrick Grossi, A.K.A. Active Child, gained a strong following and a record deal. After wrapping up a tour with the UK's electro output James Blake, the self-proclaimed "hymntronic" artist announced the release of the single yesterday to the great anticipation of many. If You Are All I See is anything like the evocative and haunting sounds of Curtis Lane, it's sure to make many end of the year top record lists.

You can stream the silky new track over at Pitchfork.
