Porij announce their debut album, Teething

Following on from their only release of 2023, "You Should Know Me", Porij present "My Only Love" as the latest taster from their forthcoming debut album. The track is about the safety and comfort of a settled relationship, for better or worse.

On the new single, Porij say: "I went to see ‘Dancing at Lughnasa’ at the National Theatre and was completely struck by a moment in the closing monologue which has the line “Dancing with eyes half-closed because to open them would break the spell.” This felt so fitting to how I was immediately dealing with the conflict I was experiencing. The power of succumbing to denial felt particularly inviting. Over time the lyrics settled and this song anchors on the thoughts in the bridge saying ‘I don’t know if this will be my forever love but it’s my only love for now’. It’s easy to put pressure on a long term relationship but through this song I remembered to enjoy each moment and not take things too seriously."

Teething is co-produced by the band and the legendary David Wrench (Frank Ocean, The xx, Young Fathers).

The four-piece band, consisting of Egg (Scout Moore), Jacob Maguire, James Middleton and Nathan Carroll, have carved a niche at the forefront of Queer-led dance-pop, and alongside the album announcement, reveal a string of UK and US dates, including their biggest London headline show to date at Electric Ballroom on 24 April, as well as stops in Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow, Bristol, Leeds, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
