Sydney synth wizard and Italo-disco cult hero Touch Sensitive<\/a> is back, just in time to rescue us from the winter blues. The producer, bassist, and all-around groove merchant (aka Michael Di Francesco) has officially announced his long-awaited second studio album, In Paradise<\/em>, set to drop on Friday, 22nd August via Future Classic.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cslice of summertime\u201d built to teleport you straight out of your SAD spiral, In Paradise<\/em> is marks Touch Sensitive\u2019s first LP in eight long years.<\/p>\n

The follow-up to 2017\u2019s fan-fave Visions<\/em>, this one\u2019s stacked with killer collabs, including with the artist\u2019s longtime friend and Sneaky Sound System<\/a> powerhouse Connie Mitchell, disco royalty Larry Dunn (Earth, Wind & Fire), plus an all-star cast of Sydney\u2019s finest musos and producers, including Tony Buchan (Smashing Pumpkins, Peter Garrett) and Murray Lake (Parcels, Anderson .Paak, Genesis Owusu).<\/p>\n

Touch himself says the record was born from chasing that pure feeling of \u201cjamming with mates in my parents\u2019 garage after school.\u201d He describes In Paradise<\/em> as being \u201cwhat it might feel like if the future was fully automated \u2013 no human error, just pure blissed-out perfection\u201d.<\/p>\n

Recent single \u2018A Team Spirit\u2019 (listen above) gives a taste of what\u2019s to come \u2013 an instant time-warp moment featuring Connie Mitchell\u2019s vocals, vintage synth textures and retro-futuristic flavour.<\/p>\n

Since 2013\u2019s breakout hit \u2018Pizza Guy\u2019, Touch Sensitive has become a fixture in Aussie music culture \u2013 racking up over 120 million streams, selling out headline shows, playing every major festival under the sun (Splendour, Laneway, Falls \u2014 tick, tick, tick), and contributing basslines to just about everyone\u2019s record. Not to mention stints in Van She, Genesis Owusu\u2019s Black Dog Band, and the Flight Facilities and Izzi Manfredi live setups.<\/p>\n

Yep \u2014 he\u2019s that guy<\/em>.<\/p>\n
