PORTAL by Buddy Junior
The songs that appear here on Portal were selected because they all reference spaces in which one moves through, either literally, or more often, as allusions to imagined portals into the spaces of the body that feel hollow, yet at the same time, are filled with a complicated spectrum of emotions. I would not call this a conceptual record, because the songs here were not written with any concept in mind. I would say however, that at a very specific time of my life, I became obsessed with this idea of portals, going so far as to paint one in my room. I told people that I stared into it, and found a place to exist where I was centered and calm. But really, I didn’t feel much of anything, and would bang my head into the wall when no one was looking. The songs here are very much so a reflection of that time.
