"Granted, it won't be for everyone, but when you can bring together the untouchable atmospherics of Sigur Rós with the heartbreaking, contemplative, and soaring finesse of The Antlers, it means you're on to something, and Port St. Willow is on to something." Port St. Willow is the music project of Nick Principe, originally formed in Portland, OR in 2009. His first album, "Even // Wasteland," was self-released in Fall 2010. In early 2012, PSW shifted from west to east, traveling back home to live and work out of Brooklyn, New York. [...]
Port St. Willow - the musical project of Nick Principe - simply describes himself as 'music and noise' on his webpage. But really - it's so much more than that. In the vein of The Antlers and Sigur Ros - Port St. Willow's debut album Holiday is an atmospheric soundscape of haunting beauty. Spend the seven bucks and grab a pair of headphones to enjoy this 55 minute journey. Holiday by Port St. Willow

Port St. Willow : You may have heard the name before, or even a song or two when he performed with The Antlers last year, but you're not doing the music any justice or properly rewarding the confines of your soul if you don't give your undivided attention to his new album from start to finish. Granted, it won't be for everyone, but when you can bring together the untouchable atmospherics of Sigur Rós with the heartbreaking, contemplative, and soaring finesse of The Antlers , it means you're on [...]
Port St. Willow's first full-length album entitled "Holiday" has left me speechless for several days. I have had this 55-minute ambient/folk picturesque artwork on repeat, and don't tend on changing that anytime soon. This album in three words. Tyrant. Smoke. Motion. I would describe Nick Principe's project Port St. Willow to our readers unfamiliar with his work as the boiling narrative of Youth Lagoon's Year of Hibernation sung [...]

Holiday , his newest release, is a stunning collection of spacious sounds held together by an emotional depth unrivaled by any album this year. I'll start with comparisons, since people love those. Port St. Willow combines the melodic wonderment of Youth Lagoon with the vocal punch of The Antlers, a claim I don't make lightly. But forget comparisons. Principe's vocals, ranging from near whispers to all-out falsetto crooning, advance Port St. [...]
Port St. Willow - Amawalk When Nick Principe opens his mouth to sing, a slow fog spills out and covers the land with mist. It's morning, you're watching it swirl between the pines, filling your lungs. Do not hesitate to go vibe out to his brand new record Holiday LP available now on his Bndcmp. Gorgeous stuff.

As you may or may not know, we recently threw a concert at Pianos in partnership with exfm . I had been promoting like a jerk all over the Twittersphere and Facebooks, so you probably did know. Fine. What you may not have known, however, was much about Port St. Willow, the project of Nick Principe and one of our acts at the show (photos here via A Heart is a Spade ). He has received some critical acclaim but stands to earn a great deal more with his debut LP, [...]

The rumors are true! Even if you haven't heard them! On May 11, we are teaming up with exfm for a night of vivid sounds and fierce emotion, all going down at Pianos in good ol' NYC. This is Knox Road's first-ever show, so I don't think I need to say how excited we are. Think super-duper. Especially because two of the four bands aren't even NY-based, and exfm is one of our favorite music sites (check out the bottom right corner of this page). We've been strong advocates on KR for Warm [...]

Being that my typical night consists of hitting the sack at around 10pm, and that my new radio show is Friday nights from 10pm to midnight, I figured that my second show would center around the theme of sleep . So I pieced together a playlist of bedroom pop, chill wave, dreamy shoegaze and what I've dubbed as psychedelic ambiance. I took over for Stuarto just after 10 with a brief description of my first track, which I don't believe made it on air. The switch-over was a bit rushed [...]

![BODY LANGUAGE, PORT ST. WILLOW, MORE AT CAMEO GALLERY [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3635002_lg.jpg)
We here at The Wild Honey Pie are known for many things: our enthusiasm, our ability to sleep through Eric blasting The Beatles at full volume (on our drive to Newport), and, of course, our wildly prodigious parties (yeah, fucking prodigious). On Saturday night we threw another shindig (this time with fellow bloggers I Guess I'm Floating ) with several bands in attendance at Brooklyn's Cameo Gallery. The evening started with the Boys and Frogs (@boysandfrogs) , a stellar indie pop band from Phoenix. [...]
I love it when I look back at something I wrote and I A: don't cringe. B: don't wonder the hell I'm prattling on about. C: realize I was spot on (triple fist-pump ). See, I just received this live video footage from Portland-based musician Port St. Willow , the music project of Nick Principe, but before I watched it I looked back at my previous post on the PDX Pop Now! music fest to see what I'd written about him. After which I was sweating it a [...]
