New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Finalists in Belgian's magazine Humo's Rock Rally 2016 and winners of broadcaster Studio Brussel's 'De Nieuwe Lichting' 2018. Their packed festival summer and completely sold out club tour took them all over Belgium in 2018. Portland creates dreamy, everlasting storytelling songs.

The band's debut single 'Pouring Rain' gained more than a million streams on Spotify, under their own management. Their subtle rework (upon request of Studio Brussel) of alt-J's 'Matilda' gained popularity faster than expected and was released as a successful second single.

Their rise in popularity didn't go unnoticed and last summer Portland proudly teamed up with [PIAS]. The first result of this partnership was 'Lucky Clover', an emotional, dreamy and subtle piece of harmonic prose, whose greatest strength is the harmonies and interaction between front duo Jente Pironet and Sarah Pepels. The single got picked up on radio in Flanders, club shows sold out quickly and an invitation to play this year's Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop festivals followed.

Gearing up to release their debut full length album after the summer, Portland now proudly presents their new single 'Expectations'. An epic and cathartic love song using lush strings, chimes, timpani, electronics and electric guitars to counter Jente and Sarah's remarkable voices. "'Expectations' is about high hopes, deep disappointments and very abstract interactions between attractions, rejections, doubts and certainties," Jente explains. It's a bold move and a step up from their previous output, still retaining the same otherworldly, dreamlike quality.

'Expectations' will be released on 19th April.

Portland is:
Jente Pironet - vocals, guitar
Sarah Pepels - vocals, keys
Gill Princen - programming, keys
Arno De Bock - drums, percussion
Portland will play The Great Escape in Brighton on 10th May
