Young Franco Announces 'Close 2 U' EP & National Tour

Brisbane producer Young Franco continues to dazzle with his piano-heavy two-track EP 'Close 2 U' and his extensive country wide tour.

Brisbane youngling Young Franco is back with an electric two-track EP, 'Close 2 U' which will be due out August 18 as a free download for a limited time.

After a slew of finger-busting sets at Splendour in the Grass and on tour with Alison Wonderland and Waveracer, Young Franco will be coming to party near you with a bunch of shows and Stereosonic all the way till October.

The title-single, 'Close 2 U' is a bouncy acceleration of pop music featuring JOY who is a choice addition, tapping into her streams of talents, her ethereal voices come across well as a refreshing splash on the face. Young Franco's signature chops are still prevalent, a reckless but not exceptionally foolhardy track with enough piano bits to invigorate and revitalise even the most worse of days.

It is interesting to note how Young Franco has consistently stuck by his piano playing, with many artists replacing authentic piano bits with more fresher and modernistic sounds. However, this doesn't leave a huge gap in creative juices, actually leaves Young Franco with endless possibilities, giving him a step above the rest.

If you haven't been fortunate enough to snatch up tickets to Stereosonic this year, Young Franco has lined up a couple of tour dates to cure those heartache. He has shared stages with the majority of the Australian dance scene and his live set has been described as one of the most energetic new acts, so heed our warnings, this set is definitely not one to miss.
