Porter Robinson announces new track + new direction

Porter Robinson surprises fans by releasing a sneak peek of his upcoming album "Worlds" with the upload of a brand new track. It's called "Sea of Voices" and represents a change of direction for the young DJ/Producer, give it a listen: 

With such a brand new sounding track, Porter felt it necessary to get on Twitter to explain his inspiration: 

years ago, i realized that i wanted to write an album that focused on beauty above all else.

the feeling of hugeness and gorgeousness and vastness and beauty is what i fucking live for. it is my favorite thing in the world

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i kept trying to write songs that both satisfied me artistically and also could 'work' in a dj set.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

nobody ever heard these songs because they sucked and made me miserable

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

again and again, i found that making a track 'danceable' just meant compromising and ignoring what the song really needed

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

and i found that the more i forced myself to work within those dj-friendly limits, the more i resented the genre.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i realized that the rift between the music that works for DJs and the music that i love had grown too huge to ignore.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i considered quitting 'porter robinson' and exclusively writing music under an alias.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

the reason i didn't quit is 'language'. to me, that song is the gate between my DJ music and the Worlds stuff.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i've had multiple anxiety attacks on stage this year and it was always related to feeling like a fraud. it sucked

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

the fucking watershed moment in writing Worlds was when i realized that i didn't have to write songs for DJs

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i realized that my need to be honest with myself and with you was greater than my need to be famous or whatever.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i don't want to cheapen peoples' past experiences of shows or songs. i still fuck with my old stuff.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

that was my favorite music when i was 18. i am 21 now and now i'm writing 21-year-old-me's favorite music

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

"don't forget your roots" dude, if i was still writing my 'roots' music i'd be writing eurodance DDR shit so don't even give me that lmao

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

i'm going to post one of the songs from my album now.

— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014

this song is called 'sea of voices'. i've been kicking around the idea of making it public for a week.

I really appreciate the honesty and direct connection that Porter has with his fans. 

Porter Robinson announces his new album "Worlds" with a strange 10 hour video

Today Porter Robinson announced the name of his new album "Worlds" with a very strange 10 hour video loop depicting the album name, symbols, computer graphics, and uneasy background sounds:

Porter has already stated that his next album will be "nostalgic", "lo-fi", and "non-EDM" in a past interview with Billboard, but this video takes the cake in weird and strange promos. Was a 10 hour video really necessary? I'm not so sure.
