Portal - Options

After a prolonged hiatus, Portal return with this 2009 four-track EP, which sees their sound moving into new and perhaps somewhat unexpected territories. Options is, without doubt, Portal's most melodic, accomplished and confident release to date. The EP also sees for the first time Portal songwriter/instrumentalist Scott Seinfeld collaborating with a variety of singers. In the sleeve notes to the 2006 retrospective collection Gone But Not Forgiven, Scott stated that the compilation marked the end of a chapter and that if Portal returned, things would be different.
