Portschute from Younge by Adrian Younge

A declared nod to Portishead and Geoff Barrow’s influence, “Portschute” is one of the album’s most hopeful statements. Built around a simple melodic phrase repeated across shifting harmonies, the track slowly gains weight and confidence, evolving into a steady groove. String glissandos stretch the emotional field, blurring tension and uplift as the music ascends quietly and deliberately—suggesting optimism as endurance rather than triumph.

The brainchild of producer Adrian Younge, Linear Labs Records is a Los Angeles-based label born out of vinyl culture and the dizzying array of music released during the format’s peak years. “The label will focus on creating new progressive music with a cultivated compositional perspective and a higher quality sonic palette,” Younge attests.
