Portland Town
Itâs been a long time coming but influential indiepop band Heavenly release a brand new 7â single. Portland Town is as effervescent a pop song as any of Heavenlyâs past recordings, with duelling vocals from Amelia and Cathy; looping, twanging, âhow-did-he-do-thatâ guitar escapades from Peter, and a super-catchy melody.
As so often with Heavenly, though, the lyrics have real bite. The song embraces those who find themselves on the margins of a hostile world where maleness, straightness and conformity are in the ascendant. So why Portland? It has always been a sanctuary â one of those places where difference is celebrated, a place where, as the song puts it, anyone can fit in.
The B side is a cover version of a much-loved Only Ones song, Someone Who Cares.
