"Portable Morla just landed on our planet and offers us "the void that exists". A synthpop diamond in this garbage dump that is Earth. Never had the feeling that simplicity is a higher form of intelligence? Proof is here with this 8-bit manifesto about our modern civilization, aliens, technology, and art. Portable Morla wields delicate synth melodies, classy beats and a leading voice of a rare quality, to reach distant galaxies where unknown lifeforms deal with the same shit we kill ourselves over every day. The Void That Exists is part of an almost extinct species in the 21st century: Poetry." -The Darkest Love (France)



"Playing synths, drum machines, melodica, and various toys, Portable Morla creates tunes that sensually slither into earshot. She composes low-lit torch songs that slyly seduce rather than slap you upside the ass. Dub influences her production style, lending her songs a lo-fi, intimate spaciousness.Morla's beats are relatively gentle, which allows more room for her lush, sparkling electronic embellishments to blossom. Overall, Portable Morla's introverted brand of electronic-oriented songcraft bears a distinctive sound palette and vocal tenor that will linger long after the last song dissipates into the ether." -Dave Segal (The Stranger-Seattle)



"An Empress Of SpaceDub, Portable Morla has been playing her dubotic style a few years now, with her impressive collection of instruments, she crafts hauntingly memorable tunes of cosmic beauty and blurs the line between lyrics and poetry. Morla's sound also combines elements of minimal, dub, and a touch of gypsy, which she embraces with her surreal, soulful vocals. Not only is she beautiful and talented, she also possesses a true DIY spirit, producing and self-releasing albums. This rasta mutant is truly one of the most unique voices in the modern independent music scene." -Daniel (Better Than Sex-New York)
