Balu Brigada - Portal (Mod) [CD]

Alt-pop duo Balu Brigada have officially opened the door to Portal - their long-awaited debut album - out now via Atlantic Records/ARRO Records/Warner Australia. A sweeping, emotional, and sonically adventurous collection of songs, Portal finds brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley pushing their boundaries and cementing their place as one of 2025's most vital new voices in alternative pop. The album includes breakout singles ""So Cold,"" ""Backseat,"" and the existential pop anthem ""What Do We Ever Really Know?"" - each one offering a glimpse into the band's evolving sound and introspective lyricism. The album was built over three years across cities like New York, Berlin, and their native Auckland, with each place leaving a unique sonic fingerprint. From the heavy, grungy textures of the NYC sessions to the serene, introspective energy of their roots in NZ, the duo curated a sound that blends indie rock urgency with alt-pop finesse and festival-sized ambition.
