Album artwork for Nightports with Betamax by Nightports with Betamax

Nightports with Betamax is the second in a series of albums from musician-producers Adam Martin and Mark Slater to be released on The Leaf Label, following 2018’s Nightports with Matthew Bourne. This time, Nightports have enlisted the formidable talents of drummer and percussionist Betamax, the beating rhythmic heart of sonic explorers The Comet Is Coming. Nightports w/ Betamax is released on CD and limited edition black vinyl LP. As with the previous album, the vinyl is packaged in an intricate die-cut sleeve, designed by Split.

Nightports is about amplifying the characteristics of the musician – celebrating what’s particular about them, finding sounds that nobody else can make, constructing a complex sonic weave that, however radical the transformations, still bears the watermarks of its origin. The album was recorded in one day in February 2018 with The Comet Is Coming’s Betamax at Malcolm Catto’s Quatermass Sound Lab studio.
