Noise music is, by no means, simple. At the most reductive, it’s a balance between out-and-out cacophony and the elements of tone and timing. Without tone and timing, you end up with what could easily be a microphone strapped to a water pipe. Now, ERAS is hardly straight-up noise; he makes dense, ghostly beats like a werewolf Clams Casino or a demon summoned by some witch house group. He and the six artists who remix his track, OATH, each strike the balance of noise differently, adjusting their own levels of tone and timing. Some lean towards heavy, pulsing drums, some to wonderfully melodic keyboards and disembodied vocals. Each of the tracks descends upon you with just enough chaos to incite crazy eye but enough of a head-nodding beat to keep you marginally sane.

Almost as if it was a double EP, ERAS embraces the vinyl format with a dualistic approach to the record as if it were two sides of a coin. In a striking new direction, Portals' first side explores new territory for ERAS with lush textures, warm pads, and agile celestial synth melodies all pushed to the forefront. The fingerprints of his previous work are there with an underlying tension and mystery, but it treads along into familiar territory as well with a pastoral, futuristic hymn quality recalling Boards of Canada and/or M83 more so than the more punk, beat induced Throbbing Gristle-isms we've heard from him in the past.
From the first few seconds of the flipside's opener "Oath", the howling drones of sacred musics and tribal war drums clearly signal a more sinister intent for the second side of Portals. Also surprising, the foreboding distorted glitch atmospheres of "Coma" give way to a steady beat wrapped in dark, warped R&B vibes. As if the b-side has taken you to the dark corridors in an underworld of sound, it is consistent in tone and restraint but also full of interesting juxtapositions whether it's layering expansive shoegaze over meticulously edited breakbeats or power electronics held together by subtle chord arrangements.
With the nature of the dualistic release, it would be inappropriate to assign any sort of genre to the music on Portals but fans of the classic Warp catalog, Editions Mego releases, even the new generation of witchier dark electronics will find a lot to like in ERAS' latest
