this album is a fucking masterpiece and honest to god one of the reasons i am alive today.
the singles for this were there for me during lockdown, when i needed them most. every time things looked really bleak, porter dropped another, and i knew i could keep going for a while longer.

this is an unbelievably strong first album from an artist without anywhere near enough traction.
recommended to me by spotify, i listened to "I Wait For You To Get Home". i was struck by the pure soft intimacy of the recording/mixing that makes it sound like someone whispering you a lullaby. for me, very few artists can do this without making it feel uncomfortable or intrusive. people that can do it well are the likes of elliot smith, adrienne lenker, billie eilish and - apparently - ... read more
