A Brain Wholly Outside

There is mention of Fernando Pessoa’s “heteronyms” in the bio for Porous Collective, the label of name behind “Lalén Ríos Luna,” and talk of both Michigan and California, so we cannot say with any certainty if there is one or ten or zero people behind this release. Our research tells us LRL is almost certainly the heteronym for Jaime Rodríguez, now living in Fresno and responsible for almost everything on Porous Collective, especially of late. The vibe is crepuscular mischief and twilight sonar. This is a delicious sprawl of unidentified sounds and textures, entirely hospitable and sparkly in its very hands-over-eyes way.
