The end of Port Largo...

Yesterday I received the bad news that talented Danish electro/synth-pop trio Port Largo has decided to call it quits. I've been waiting for news from the band for some time, but this certainly wasn't what I expected. Earlier this year the band re-recorded two tracks for a promotion CD under the guidance of producer Carsten Heller (Nephew, Spleen United etc.) and since the result of that collaboration was pretty good, I thought that the band would soon be picked up by a record label. Sadly this wasn't the case, and the band is no more, citing musical and artistic differences as the reason for the unexpected break-up. As a last kind gesture Port Largo is giving away the two before mentioned promo tracks for free from the band's Myspace profile. Give them a listen and I'm pretty certain that you'll agree that the world missed out on a really great band!
