About Portables–
De Portables have erased the imaginary line between post-rock, humor, pop and electronics. The band has arrived to a point of creation where everything is possible; every style can be touched; every note can be held for hours.
“Topless Is More” or T.I.M. is the fifth full-length album by De Portables, yet it’s their debut for Stilll. T.I.M. is an album of mysterious plots and strange twists and turns that leave you with one question at the end: “Who did it? And what with?” T.I.M. is an album filled with songs and stories, social criticism and bad jokes, hits and misses … T.I.M. is an album of familiar surprises telling stories about a drummer lost in the woods, frustrated lovers-to-be on a vegetarian barbecue, malfunctioning doorbells giving electric shock, a strange Indian intruder, friendly cows in the zoo and random thoughts and philosophies on the nature of songs and making music and today’s world… T.I.M. is probably one of the most prodigious albums of this year. It is a tempered post-pop/rock storm fuelled with funky beats, unlimited waves of synths, guitars, drums, vocals and twists. It’s a hit.
