Review:
Port Electric treads a gentle path between rock and down-tempo electronica. Their online album Unknowable
Things weaves a web of lush sounds with scintillating beats . The music often evokes trip-hop influences
such as Portishead and Massive Attack. The opening track, “Silence”, clearly has a Massive Attack feel in the heavy beat accompanied by soft orchestral keyboards. The second track, “Leave Me Dry” exhibits a more unique mixture of rhythm and melody while having a seductive Everything But The Girl quality. Most of these tracks are complemented by soft but sensuous vocals. My favorite tracks, like “Pollution” and “I Brace Myself”, offer a nice balance of vocals, dream enhancing arrangements and steady rock beats. This is an impressive debut recording. Hopefully we will be hearing more in the future.

Tracklist:
1. Silence
2. Leave me dry
3. Borderline soul
4. Pollution
5. Gloom
6. I brace myself
7. Liquid
8. Still life
