Living out of suitcases between sessions and tours, the brothers wholly devoted themselves to pushing the envelope musically, writing and producing every note themselves. By challenging one another, they bottled the tension, vulnerability, and understanding between them into the music, delivering an honest and cathartic aural odyssey that teeters on an axis of otherworldly escapism and personal experience. While the melodies of Portal may resound to the heavens, its emotion is irrefutably grounded and utterly relatable.‍

Portal was first announced earlier this summer with the release of  “Backseat,” available now HERE, already seeing over 11M global streams to date, climbing the US Alternative Airplay chart where it sits at #24, reaching #19 on the NZ Hot Singles Chart, and garnering international airplay across stations. Clocking in at over six minutes, the ambitious epic showcases the scope of Balu Brigada’s intricate, infectious, and inimitable vision, blurring the lines between experimental energy, and arena-size rock.
