Reviews and Comments
"Lose Our Minds dives into a toxic relationship. Both people know it's not a good idea but can't seem to stay away from the other. This song is all about leaning into that and watching as sanity melts away."
"An endearing blend of house, garage, new wave and lo-fi pop".- The Guardian
"Genre-splicing art-pop ready made for the dancefloor" - NME
"Impossible to genuinely pin down - Clash
"Something you'll keep coming back to" - Dork
"The work of a band in complete control." - DIY
"Deftly luminous and polished sonically" - The Line Of Best Fit
Porij today release new single Lose Our Minds, a d&b & garage infused banger which has been named Hottest Record at Radio 1.The new bop follows recent BBC 6Music A-listed single Figure Skating. One of the breakout successes of 2021, this summer Porij will appear at a host of U.K. festivals including Live At Leeds, Green Man, The Great Escape, Kendal Calling, Dot To Dot, plus more to be announced soon. The band will also be hitting the road with Metronomy this week. The four-piece also today announce a UK headline tour, which includes a date at London's iconic Heaven. Lose Our Minds finds Porij at their playful and serene best. Following their euphoric performance at the 6Music festival - the genre-hoppers this time take in elements of 90s garage combined with their usual unerring sense of pop melody.
Porij on Lose Our Minds: "Lose Our Minds dives into a toxic relationship. Both people know it's not a good idea but can't seem to stay away from the other. This song is all about leaning into that and watching as sanity melts away."
Tipped by the likes of The Guardian, Dork, The Daily Star, Evening Standard, NME, DIY, Clash - the band are building a fanbase based on their inclusive DIY approach, creating their own little universe through their songs: a world that is fun, queer and unafraid. Each single the band have released has been playlisted at BBC 6music There has also been consistent support from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, Apple Music and BBC Introducing. Last year's Baby Face EP has racked up millions of Spotify streams on top of rave critical reviews. Expect further new music from Porij very soon.
