Ahead of its release next Friday (19th of February), Texan songwriter Katy Kirby has revealed the fourth and final taste of her debut album Cool Dry Place. Set over ambient piano playing, 'Portals' is a stripped back and emotive affair that tingles with atmospheric textures. Coming straight from the heart, the lyrics are earnest and endearing as the chorus spills: "if we peel apart, will we be stronger than we were before, we had formed ourselves together, in a temporary whole, and if we reunite, will we still know, the things that we had learned before? We’re not boxes, doors, or borders, we were portals." Following fellow List Picks 'Juniper' and 'Cool Dry Place', it's shaping up to be a stellar debut. -Holly Mullineaux
