The Wisconsin-based In/Animate is a solo project that started in 2018. After several singles, it's resulting now in a long-play debut with a moody and modern cover art signalling the moody and modern content of Portals.
The sound here is defined as "synthesizers and a mix of acoustic and electronic percussion to create music with influences of post-rock and IDM" which basically means the marriage of the electronic and the post-rock into one, extremely attractive and homogeneous entity. You can hardly say it's one of them with traces of the other, it's both at the same time. The post-rock-originating compositions are very complex and overwhelmingly monumental, just like the best works of the genre.
On the other hand, it is accompanied by heavy electronica that is very much responsible for the melodies and "riffs" but also often breaks the composition, a trace of what dub steps does on much larger scale. Also the overall theme of the album is set in the sci-fi and space exploration tones. This whole thing results in outbursts of dark energy that can power up your lives with ease, as well as in "fresh sounds to transport you to different dimensions" as the musician states when talking about his artistic goals.
