Porlolo

About

Porlolo is a true labor of love, a collaborative and ever-evolving project formed in 2002 by the eccentric and prolific Erin Roberts. At once deeply pensive and thoroughly irreverent, Porlolo is a powerful songwriting force, cranking out grungy, sometimes twangy, reverb drenched, pure pop hits. No Praise, No Blame (Out May 21st, 2021) was recorded and mastered in early 2020, just before the world shut down and the inequity of our many systems was highlighted in technicolor. This EP examines the staggered pace at which we try to keep cadence with those dear to us and our persistent desire to realign and make right. The title of the album was inspired by a poem of the same title by William Stafford, and perfectly embodies the ever changing nature of Porlolo - carved by the influence of collaborators and friends, humble yet unapologetic, a true and irresistible presence in today’s musical landscape. No Praise, No Blame What have the clouds been up to today? You can't blame them, you know. Their edges just happen, and where they go is the fault of the wind. I'd like my arrival to be like that, alone and quiet, really present but never to blame. And I'd never presume or apologize, and if anyone pressed me I'd be gone, and come back there only some harmless, irresistible presence all around you, like the truth, something you need, like the air. - William Stafford
