Porcelain Raft – Strange Weekend

Description

Remiddi’s androgynous vapor of a voice weaves like a ghost between Nick Gilder and the Alessi Brothers, Julee Cruise and Judee Sill. In more contemporary terms, Porcelain Raft stands confidently on a high hill between the sounds of M83 and Beach House. Lead track “Drifting in and Out” is loping and anthemic; gauzy and chiming. “Shapeless and Gone” follows with a heavy strum reminiscent of “Cosmic Dancer”? full of mood and style without all the wearying excesses and feathered boas.
