Sydney-based bedroom-pop phenomenon grentperez returns with intimate new track ‘Us Without Me’ and nostalgic visualiser, out now everywhere via AWAL & Fast Friends.

A drama-rich ballad, ‘Us Without Me’ is the most mature composition we’ve seen yet from the Sydney-based artist – layering delectable chord changes and shivering strings over gutting lyrics and little reminders of lost love that hit like daggers: “You’re in someone else’s room while mine still smells like your perfume.”

A tender and true piece of songwriting, “Us Without Me” makes you stare out the window and into your own thoughts” grentperez describes in his own words. “This song takes on the perspective of a person who’s lost their love to someone else. Heart broken and forced to observe this newly formed couple, the main character wallows in the imagination of what could’ve been.”

To mark the release, grentperez has shared the official visualiser for the new track following a series of bittersweet, nostalgic scenes of old toys boxed up, empty swing sets and forgotten figurines on the playground floor encapsulating the melancholy of the song’s lyrics.
