"Tax Free Hollows" ist die erste Single-Auskopplung des 2024 erscheinenden PORTER-Albums "Genosha".

GENOSHA – Chapter I "Tax Free Hollows" is about a society that indulges in seemingly endless diplomatic debates instead of striving for real solutions, which can be quite painful. Some react with agony and apathy in the face of seemingly unsolvable problems, while others celebrate an apocalyptic ego party in order not to have to see the end coming.

In an endless time loop of ever-same actions and behaviour, a paralysing cycle is established here as normality, which seems to have no consequences whatsoever and leads nowhere except to appease each other with the most diverse means. In the end, all this works in a system that few of us have asked for, defined by simple, self-regarding minds that gain their short-term advantages on the backs of everyone.

"Tax Free Hollows" is the first single from the PORTER album "Genosha", which will be released in 2024.

GEOSHA – Kapitel I Der Song entwirft eine Gesellschaft, die sich in scheinbar endlos diplomatischen Debatten ergeht, anstatt echte Lösungen, die durchaus schmerzhaft sein können, anzustreben. Die einen reagieren mit Agonie und Apathie angesichts der schier unlösbaren Probleme, die anderen feiern eine apokalyptische Ego-Party, um das Ende nicht kommen sehen zu müssen.

In einer mäandernden Zeitschleife aus immergleichen Handlungen und Verhaltensweisen, wird hier ein lähmender Kreislauf als Normalität etabliert, der in seinem Tun gänzlich konsequenzlos erscheint und zu nichts führt, außer sich gegenseitig mit den unterschiedlichsten Mitteln zu beschwichtigen. Am Ende funktioniert all das in einem System, nach dem die wenigsten von uns gefragt haben, definiert von schlichten, da lediglich sich selbst bedenkenden Geistern, die ihre kurzfristigen Vorteile auf dem Rücken aller erwirtschaften.
