Porter Robinson on Forthcoming Album: ‘almost done and will be emotional and beautiful’

Porter Robinson took to Facebook today to update his fans about his life. The main point of conversation was, obviously, his upcoming album.  This album has been in the works for a while now, and Porter has spoken out about it many times before. This monologue really drives home the point that this is the most important accomplishment of his life.  Porter writes that  “this record focuses on being emotional and beautiful and vast-sounding and i feel more strongly about it than anything i’ve ever done in my life.” We are all very excited for this release, and it’s good to know that Porter has poured all that he has into it. Taking into account his exceptional talent, we are positive that it will be one of the best releases of the year. Take a look at the rest of the facebook post:

hey facebook people. -[✞ – ✞]- i know it’s been a while since i’ve posted on here. you deserve an update about what’s up with me lately.

i’m in southeast asia at the time of writing. bangkok, thailand, specifically. i’m midway through a little tour of this part of the world, and then after that i’m going on tour in australia with the m machine for a few weeks, which should be awesome too. it’s been so cool and weird encountering fans in the streets of places i’ve never set foot on before – the earnest love i feel from total strangers is seriously moving. knowing that real people care about your music and shows and taste, even after three years, is more inspiring than you’d think. i guess that’s one advantage established artists have. thank you guys.

i talk about it constantly on twitter, too, but in case you’ve missed it somehow: i’ve spent like the last year-and-a-half writing an album. it’s really close to done. this record focuses on being emotional and beautiful and vast-sounding and i feel more strongly about it than anything i’ve ever done in my life. i’m also art directing the whole multimedia aspect of the album – i don’t want to give away exactly what that means quite yet, but i’m spending no insignificant amount of time on it.

anyway. that’s my life right now. i’m dying to show you new stuff.
i love you all
