ALBUM REVIEW

Perry Porter

Channel Surfing

Released January 2018

The Seattle Times describes this solo debut from Tacoma painter and rapper Perry Porter as “manic, with voice-cracking bars over thickets of trunk-knocking bass… short bursts that, like a good punk record, leave you craving more.” The Blow Up points to Porter’s “high energy chaos and smooth funk.” CityArts says “He bounces from syrupy drawl to chirpy double-time to suit each song’s character, street-hardened but self-deprecating, stoned, surreal and cartoonish.” Distinction describes it as “an alt-trapper bouncer made of SoundCloud-era strangeness.”
