Porter Robinson - "nurture" (April 23, 2021) Album • Page 12

Easily my AOTY. Far and away one of the most impactful pieces of media I've experienced in years.

 

I love this whole album but I feel like dullscythe is underappreciated. I love how emotional it is despite not having words, and how it still sounds ethereal and beautiful despite also being very chaotic

 

Might sound funny, but it sounds very “high-desert” to me…

I had just come back from central Oregon a month or two before Nurture dropped and it immediately triggered my recent memories of being there, when I heard it.

 

Yeah, that's not far off from what I mentally pictured when I heard the song.

 

Gorgeous picture!! I want to head to the Pacific NW so badly!

The moment when dullscythe finally smoothes out into the straight rolling beat is probably the most euphoric moment on a record that’s defined by euphoria haha

 

Not my picture, although I have plenty! It’s awesome out there…

 

Alright so my vinyl came yesterday but unless I'm missing something there's no clear credit for the female vocalist that is all over this thing. Anyone know who sings with him on a bunch of these?

 

somehow didn’t realize this until seeing him live, but it’s him pitch shifted

 

Yeah, it’s a really cool effect that works well, especially the way it “warbles” back and forth between pitch shifted and his regular voice

 

Really cool how the pitch shifting creates these characters across the album. It's as if they're singing to/with each other.

 

Felt the same way… it’s like a duet with himself, but 2 different identities/voices.

Very cool.

 

Damnnnnnnn that's impressive. Had no idea.

 

Thanks for sharing, this is super cool.

 

That video really puts into perspective how hard it must be to stay in that vocal range with the energy of his live show. Singing in a lower octave, where instinctively you'd go up into your head voice based on the dynamic of the song.

 

Think "Blossom" is my favorite track on here though it's a very tough call. I know it's not indicative of how the rest of this thing sounds but its my goto first suggestion when recommending this release to someone.

 

"Musician" is the one for me.

 

There’s no other song this year that captures the feeling of unbridled joy more than this song

 

Yep. Makes me feel so good every time I listen to it.

 

Dublin April 17th and London April 23rd for me I reckon, full send

 

COPENHAGEN AND DUBLIN IT IS

 

Wow those shows look crazy fun

 

Ya'll the piano in Wind Tempos stops me in my tracks every time. It sounds like Christmas in the weirdest way.

 

Wind Tempos is my SOTY

 

I have always gotten slight Christmas vibes from “Blossom”
