Port St. Willow‘s terrific, self-released LP Holiday will be reissued by Downtown Records April 2nd, and it will include a brand new 25-minute, four-part suite called “Soft Light Rush”. Port St Willow is mostly the solo project for multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Principe, but the project also includes his longtime friend and collaborator Jake Nussbaum. The two musicians must have been pretty stoked when they heard Brian Eno had given the record a listen, telling Mother Jones during a discussion about, “the tension between producing pop albums and making…generative music”: “I just heard a record last month by Port St. Willow…which I became completely entranced by. I just thought how amazing that somebody could take the same few chords, pretty much the same sorts of sounds – it’s quite hard to tell what is original about it, but I just know I’ve never heard it before. It’s such a fabulous record.”
