Child Actor is the frail lovechild constructed by Max Heath from Anonymous Inc. and Sedgie Ogilvy. I think their own description of their music says it best; R & B for the digital age, with hip hop and psych elements clawing at the walls of a restless alt-pop soundscape. And that's just what it feels like. It's a great mix of influences that in many cases would feel contrived, but here comes across as natural and really quite beautiful. It's the combination of Max's massive, but still constricted productions and Sedgie's dreamy and personal voice that makes this stand out from most of the thousands that throughout the years has attempted to do what Portishead succeeded with many many years ago. Perhaps not an album that I will return to time and again, but for now it's pure enjoyable pop, and that's just enough sometimes.
Rating: 5.5/10
