Child Actor is an American duo consisting of Max Heath and Natalie Plaza. [2] [3]
Child Actor was formed by cousins Max Heath and Sedgie Ogilvy. [4] They released the Partner EP in February 2012 [5] and the Window EP in July 2012. [6]
Their first album, Victory, was released on Fake Four Inc. on October 16, 2012. [7] Don Yates of KEXP-FM described the album as "an impressive set of maximalist, R&B-tinged electro-pop with a huge, lush sound featuring walls of glittering synths, hip hop-influenced rhythms, chopped samples, wispy vocals and sugary pop melodies." [8] Alyce Currier of Earmilk said, "With more emotional staying power than a lot of music caught up in today's rapid release cycle, I think this one is a keeper." [9]
Ogilvy left Child Actor in December 2012 with Natalie Plaza taking her place. [3]
Child Actor released their sophomore album, Never Die, in September 2014, followed by A Perfect Cloud in 2016. [10]
More recently, the duo has been active in hip hop, contributing production to artists such as Open Mike Eagle, Serengeti, billy woods, Armand Hammer, and Moor Mother. [11] [12] [13] [14]
In 2021, Child Actor released an album entitled Respawn with frequent collaborator Televangel via Fake Four Inc. [15]
In 2022, Heath played keyboard in a recording session along with jazz musician Shabaka Hutchings, engineer Willie Green, and rapper Elucid that would form the foundation for the 2023 Armand Hammer album We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. [16] [17] [18]
