Porij share dreamy new single ‘My Only Love’ and announce debut album, ‘Teething’
Porij have today (January 16) shared a new single, ‘My Only Love’, and announced details of their debut album, ‘Teething’.The four piece, made up of vocalist and keyboardist Scout Moore (Egg), bassist James Middleton, guitarist Jacob Maguire and drummer Nathan Carroll, revealed that their new album will arrive on April 26 via Play It Again Sam Records and can be pre-ordered here.‘My Only Love’ is described in a statement as being about “the safety and comfort of a settled relationship, for better or worse”.Speaking about the new single, the band said: “I went to see ‘Dancing at Lughnasa’ at the National Theatre and was completely struck by a moment in the closing monologue which has the line ‘Dancing with eyes half-closed because to open them would break the spell.’ This felt so fitting to how I was immediately dealing with the conflict I was experiencing.“The power of succumbing to denial felt particularly inviting. Over time the lyrics settled and this song anchors on the thoughts in the bridge saying ‘I don’t know if this will be my forever love but it’s my only love for now’.
