Product Information

Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.

Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee.

Mine skipped a lot unfortunately and at first I thought it was my player since I have a mid level player but I played a record I never had problems with and it was fine.Portals Limited Edition Bloodshot Translucent Vinyl 1LP, in a 12” x 12” gatefold jacket, with printed inner sleeve. Today's exclusive trailer – directed by Martinez and streaming now - now sees the appearance of a mysterious egg from which an enigmatic figure emerges.

The stylus was moving left to right with the largest sways I have ever seen, it had a lot of surface noise on both sides and was covered in dust. I got a truly awful pressing, three gigantic scratches on the B side covering all tracks, resulting in skipping. The color was super disappointing (I really wanted the pink and black to be separated but it was all mixed and murky). I was most impressed that they even printed a cool design on the inner walls of the outer LP cover, something you rarely see.

PORTALS LIMITED EDITION BLOODSHOT TRANSLUCENT VINYL 1LP COLOR MAY VARY NOT EVERY VINYL WILL LOOK THE SAME. With a savvy handle on teasing her projects through her socials, Martinez has drawn her fans into the world of this new album around themes of rebirth, growing embryos and eggs incubating in forests. After a lot of reports from others I was expecting surface noise free copy but even after thorough cleaning i couldn’t get rid of the noise…mostly affecting side A while side B is pretty smooth. I must be the most unlucky person but my copy finally arrived and I’m quite disapointed with the sound quality.Beverly Hills, New York City and London, Loma Vista Recordings are an ever-evolving family of creatives, home to many iconic artists we know and love at Rough Trade. Martinez lifted the curtain on PORTALS earlier this week with an instantly viral TikTok video confirming the death of her notorious alter-ego "Cry Baby," last seen considering whether to walk into the light at the beguiling conclusion of 2019's internationally acclaimed full-length film, K-12. While this record does not come in a gatefold, the jacket and printed inner sleeve are thick and sturdy. Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm.

I know this music style leans towards a lot of processing and surreal sounds and that adds to the feeling of the album. the mockup sticker that is shown on the front clearly shows a translucent violet vinyl but when i opened it the vinyl was white with some kind of purple splatter - honestly i wasn’t disappointed with this. The ugliest variant of ALL TIME, not just of theses variants but of ALL TIME, pink and black dont mix well it loks like a disgusting greasy black dirt all over a weird pink vinyl, I cannot tell you how ugly this variant is dear lord.A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential.
