Windy & Carl - Portal [2XLP]

Release Date: October 16, 2026
Label: Kranky
Long overdue reissue of the first Windy & Carl album and first ever vinyl pressing. Originally self-released by the duo as a cassette in 1994, Portal set the template for their singular sonic explorations to come.
“…ethereal soundscapes that will transport the listener to other plains of reality.” —Acid Test!
“Carl layers willowy guitar arpeggios, foggy keyboards, and chimes over Windy’s murmured intonations and rippling basswork. Everything sounds fresh and unaffected in the careful hands of these two gentle souls. Pick it up, lie back, and allow it to lull you into an undisturbed reverie.” —Big Takeover
“Expansive, daydream enhancing music.” —CMJ
