Porij today share new single Stranger featuring: Elkka. Porij’s recent album Teething, co-produced by the band and the legendary David Wrench (Frank Ocean, The xx, Young Fathers) won support from across the press landscape, with the likes of TheFader, Rolling Stone UK, The Telegraph and many more all lending praise. Radio support has been no less effusive, with multiple singles playlisted at both BBC Radio1 and BBC 6Music. Since the release of the album, the band have enjoyed a sold-out UK tour, which included London’s iconic Electric Ballroom and a huge recent slot at Roskilde Festival in Denmark. On top of that, the fourpiece also completed a wildly joyous (televised) set at this year’s Glastonbury, playing back-to-back with Elkka on The Lonely Hearts Stage.
Porij are Egg (Scout Moore), Jacob Maguire, James Middleton and Nathan Carroll.
Elkka is a renowned producer, vocalist and DJ and has released music on Local Action, Ninja Tune, and her own label femme culture. On collaborating on Stranger, Elkka says:
“The vocals and the lyrics captivated me straight away. Queer music and queer stories told through pop…its my dream come true so instantly wanted to put my spin on it!”
