Porta Bohemica is taken from the name of an old train line that once connected Germany and Austria. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Trixie Whitley, was inspired by the concept of such remote journeys when choosing a title for her latest album. Porta Bohemica, her sophomore release, represents an introspective expedition into the depths of her creative identity, culminating in her resolve to fearlessly let go of gratuitous baggage, not needed on future travels.
"The metaphor of an old train line feeds something in my imagination. I related to that sense of travel when making this record because it was an epic undertaking," the Brooklyn-based artist says. "It involved letting go of my past to embrace my individuality both as a young woman and as an artist. This record has been something of a rebirth for me,"
Since 2013, Whitley has emerged as a compelling solo artist with three EPs and one full-length in her catalog. Fourth Corner. Her full-length debut, garnered acclaim from Mojo, Interview, ELLE, Relix, The Village Voice, NPR and The New York Times, among many other publications.
Whitley's prismatic artistry reflects electronica, R&B, the vulnerable ethos of singer-songwriters, and the unapologetic individuality of punk rock. Porta Bohemica flourished with the help of producer Gus Seyffert (Beck, The Black Keys) and Joey Waronker (Atoms for Peace, Ultraísta).
