ShadowBox “A M” Pictures Music
We received this surprisingly breath-taking but very short album today from Pictures Music, a UK based record label who has released some really good sounds that we are finally catching up to. ShadowBox is the self-reliant musical pathways of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Bonnie Baxter. Prophetic, complex yet catchy electronic music is becoming the norm in these days, with artists like Bjork and other vocalist, producers and instrumentalists paving the way to a new ideology in the creation of music. ShadowBox’s musical atmosphere reminds me of artists like Bjork, Tokimonsta, Lapalux, Portishead and Emika. A 12″ vinyl is in the works that will include these two tracks.

Brooklyn’s Bonnie Baxter emerges bellowing from a dark sea of sizzling electronics. Kicks and degraded snares fight cascades of bleeps falling delicately over harsh electronics. ShadowBox is powerful, poised… her live act shows a wild and uncontrollable force who at times lets the listener into a delicate and reflective world just for a moment. It’s just ShadowBox and her machinery joined by Icky Doome live. – Pictures Music

Porter Records
2935 S. Fish Hatchery Rd, #414
Madison, WI 53711 / USA
Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops. Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.
When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates. This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future. Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.
Porter Records is more than a reissue label. Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry. Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance. Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
