Rising star grentperez has today announced his highly anticipated forthcoming EP‘ When We Were Younger’. To mark the release, the Western-Sydney bedroom pop phenomenon has also revealed his latest disco-drenched single ‘When The Day Is Done’, out now everywhere via Fast Friends & AWAL. This week, grentperez has also revealed the second leg of his ‘growing up?’ international headline tour, revealing headline shows in the UK, Europe and the US over September and October of this year.

Saturated in disco-soul, grentperez explains the new single as “a timeless classic that the whole family can listen to. Or as my dad would say ‘The song I can dance to”. Picking up the pace dramatically from his most recent single and drama-rich ballad  ‘Us Without Me’, ‘When The Day Is Done’ ends in a completely different place to where you started – gradually building up to a punchy syncopated pre-chorus melody before letting loose into an unstoppable roller-rink ready boogie. “This track embodies the line ‘there’s no place like home’ and when all is said and done, I just want to get back home and to the feeling of family having your back no matter where you are.” Every lovingly crafted detail — from the stacked harmonies on the bridge to the roiling congas to that one delayed beat drop in the final chorus — emanates a pure joy.

Drawing on the themes of having no place like home, today grentperez has also announced his highly anticipated forthcoming EP ‘When We Were Younger’ out everywhere from Friday 2nd June . Conceived as a means to get out of a songwriting rut ‘When We Were Younger’ is a seven-track song cycle centred around the concept of nostalgia – motivated by the desire to stave off cynicism and embrace the carefree creativity of childhood. “We would have these super wholesome outdoor writing sessions as we were putting the project together,” he shares. “Connecting with what I remember as a really lovely childhood grounds me in the real world and keeps me thinking of the important friends and family in my life. It keeps me from getting ahead of myself.” Taking listeners on a series of unexpected yet intuitive sonic detours, grentperez fuses the signifiers of a wide variety of nostalgic sounds across the EP: infusing his beloved bossa nova with sprightly Philadelphia soul and the swelling strings of golden-era Hollywood, and taking inspiration from the soundtracks and general vibe of 90s rom-coms.

To mark the release, grentperez has also launched the official pre-order for the ‘When We Were Younger’ EP physical vinyl, featuring a blue coloured vinyl and offering the first 100 x orders an exclusive signed bookmark featuring custom drawings by grentperez. Pre-order the ‘When We Were Younger’ EP physical vinyl HERE, to be released on 14 July.

Gearing up for a huge year ahead, this week grentperez has also announced his ‘growing up?’ international headline tour, revealing 20-stops across the UK, Europe and USA over September, October & November of this year with more tour dates to come. The ‘growing up?’ tour announcement comes in the lead up to the Western-Sydney artists fast approaching rescheduled US headline tour this June, playing a completely sold-out 6-stop-run including shows in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, followed up with grentperez joining Cavetown on their Bittersweet Daze Tour as a special guest alongside good friends mxmtoon & Ricky Montgomery in the US over July & August 2023.

grentperez’s ‘When We Were Younger’ EP will be out everywhere from Friday 2 June, available to pre-order/save the EP HERE.
