Chayse Porter's Third Studio LP "Endless / Boundless" - OUT NOW!
Earth Libraries is pleased to present Chayse Porter's third studio album, Endless / Boundless - available now on all streaming platforms and vinyl LP.
Porter's latest features a collection of nine new musical excavations and epiphanies the Birmingham-based songwriter dug up from life’s bedrock and polished to a shine in his basement lair. While his last record, Chay's Palace, was painstakingly crafted with vintage analogue equipment in a studio, Porter opted to compose and record Endless alone in his basement, before the bursting seeds of ideas had any chance to wilt. “I didn’t want to sit on an idea too long and allow the inspiration to fizzle out. It was more important for me to express myself immediately and directly, than ‘correctly,’” said Porter. The result is a fresher, more direct record than the high-concept psyche excavations of his 2022 sophomore LP.
While Porter may have used the humble and convenient confines of his basement to write and record the album, engineer Brad Timko gave the final mix a sparkling sheen at the legendary Studio B in Muscle Shoals. However, don’t let this polished sound fool you – there are darker corners of Endless / Boundless to discover along the winding path of these nine songs. Listen now wherever you get your music and snag your copy of the record!
