Portage Garage Sounds present the label's first LP, "Capturing Animals" (PGS 017) by Charles Trees. Recorded over a two year period, "Capturing Animals" preserves the isolation and individual atomization experienced by all over recent years as well as the jubilance of humanity's reconnection.
The 11 track album presents itself as an interconnected work. The listener is guided through the album's narrative and sequential structure effortlessly by Trees' arrangement and showcase of his production and composition talents. The album offerses glimpses of early Detroit techno, flashes of EBM, drips of acid (and full-on doses in "FRQDNK"), stripped-down electro, UK RNB, prominent vocals (as heard in "Stave I" and a Sophie cover), and composed works of live strings.
"Capturing Animals" is a high point for Trees' and Portage Garage Sounds. The raw talent and dedication is unmistakable. The artist and the label are moving onto higher ground and reaching upwards.
