i find it weird how under appreciated Porter is on this site? Def considering hes absolutely massive in other spaces
Yeah, there’s a lack of engagement with artists like Porter, Mura Masa, or something like Jon Hopkins, outside of the same posters lol porters new album is shaping up to be one of my favorite pop releases of the year imo so it baffles me
I really wonder if its because Porter came up in the hay-day of EDM and started out as heavy dude-bro-molly-popping-edm-fest type music. Where as artists who i very much consider his contemporaries popped up years later and get to be considered indie/blogsphere friendly electronic music. its all very weird
The two singles he has released so far have caught my attention, this is definitely a highly anticipated album for me. Never really checked him out before, but I really like what I've heard.
I watch the AG Cook set from secret sky like weekly at this point. That opening track is the best “emo” song of 2020
tbf, he did it better than most. that first EP is truly groundbreaking and really put OWSLA on the map.
Mirror is absolutely stunning, especially the bridge and the last stutter chorus. Really inventive stuff going on. And the lyrics have this honest and no-pretense quality to communicating, and it’s hitting pretty hard emotionally
Coming Soon International I ran the numbers and it looks like pre-orders for Nurture launch for international buyers at 11am GMT on Wednesday September 23rd...
I'm gonna be real with you and say that i initially wrote him off without actually listening to any of his music because of his association with the dudebro EDM stuff at the time. But once i learned that his roots were more in music from Dance Dance Revolution and other music games i did finally give his stuff a chance and i loved it
