I recently had the immense honor of speaking with Porter Robinson, and took the opportunity to dig deeper into the tale of Shelter, and the surprising origin story of Porter & Madeon. The life cycle of Shelter has been exhilarating to behold, from co-produced single, to Crunchyroll-backed animation project, to smash international tour. For the rabid legions of Porter Robinson and Madeon fans, the joint passion project has been a euphoric 8-month journey, coming to emotional culmination last night on the Coachella main stage. I’m speaking of a collaborative masterwork known as Shelter, the co-headlined live tour starring two of electronic music’s most radiant young talents. However last night as the sun dramatically set over Indio, one piece of artistry came to an explosive close. This is my shit.'” He said he wouldn’t end up completing a song for Nurture for another three years, and it took him nearly five to finish “Something Comforting.” But it’s finally ready now, and it’s gorgeous, so dive in below.Coachella is traditionally regarded as the pace-setting event to kick off festival season – it's a taste of what’s to come. I would just listen to it obsessively because I was like, ‘This is good enough. “And I’ve probably listened to it like 10,000 times, maybe more. “That was the very first thing that I knew I was going to keep,” he explained. In 2015, when he came up with the instrumental fill that would eventually appear 1:06 into “Something Comforting,” Robinson perked up. And that was a very scary thought to me.” And I was really beginning to question whether or not I would ever be able to make music again. “I was trying for hundreds of hours a week to make something new,” he said, “and trying so many new ideas, and just feeling unhappy with everything, feeling really, really critical of everything that I was doing, and just feeling like nothing was good enough, and just at the absolute creative low point. In the message, Robinson referred to the prolonged creative struggle he went through in the years after Worlds.
But as he explained in a video message today, the real beginning of the Nurture process was “Something Comforting,” his new song out today. After a detour into ’90s rave music under the name Virtual Self, Robinson began building on Worlds’ brightly glowing, orchestrally infused video-game pop epics with “ Get Your Wish,” the lead single from new album Nurture. Porter Robinson returned in January with his first new song under his own name since his astonishing 2014 debut album Worlds.
