Grentperez - When we Were Younger - Vinyl LP

Drawing on the themes of having no place like home, grentperez has also announced his highly anticipated forthcoming EP ‘When We Were Younger’

Conceived as a means to get out of a songwriting rut ‘When We Were Younger’ is a seven-track song cycle centered 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.
