Nurture and Porter genuinely saved my life, very high chance I wouldn't be here if not for the timing of the Nurture tour announcement in late 2021.
New sound sort of reminds me of the Anamanaguchi remix of "Get Your Wish". Scott Pilgrim video game OST inspired. So hyped for this, Nurture is a classic album already as far as I'm concerned.
Bumping to say happy 5th birthday to what is possibly my favourite album of all time, an album with more personal significance than any other by an insurmountable margin, an album that likely changed my life, and still 5 years later completely fucks me up from beginning to end. What an unassailable beauty. I could kiss you, Porter Robinson.
My favourite album of the decade and this isn't likely to change. That Dublin gig announcement in late 2021 may have saved my life. Thank you Porter.
I know it's dark and a bit trauma dumpy but Something Comforting quite literally saved me from committing suicide
I mean that announcement of the Dublin show that would turn out to be the best gig I've ever seen essentially did the same for me. I get it. Sending love
My daughter was born just a few months before this album came out and I would sing to her (in my not very good voice lol) the hook from “Sweet Time” as a lullaby. Still do occasionally. She’s 5 now, wild.
Double post, I know, but I also wanted to mention the full circle sort of moment when Something Comforting got added to DDR A3. In a way, it felt like what the song made me feel was validated. DDR is a game that has tremendously helped me through tough times, and knowing that Porter's original inspiration for creating music was playing DDR was cool as hell. It's unfortunate that A3 (and the newest version, World) are only currently playable at Round1 arcades but it is what it is. Look At The Sky being added as well was equally impactful since that's a song I post on Facebook every year on my birthday to remind myself that I've made it through another year alive.
few albums have changed my life.. nurture is one of them. feeling so fortunate to share in its beauty all these years later. looks like it is time to give it a spin (the weather today is built for it)
I still don’t understand WTF nurture is - which was my initial reaction when it found me somehow - but I know I love it.
Don't think I've ever played this record for someone that hasn't ended up liking it. Truly a perfect album, still sounds so big and warm.
I was chatting with some chick on Hinge recently (“omggg I love EDM!”) and I recommended this album….. a day later, she removed me from her contacts lol
