During his UK tour last week I caught up with the PORCELAIN RAFT for a cup of coffee. Watch the interview as I chat with the Italian psych-rocking-electro-he-poppe r about touring, non-receptive audiences versus appreciative ones, his music, the recent video for his b-side SOMETHING IN BETWEEN, music piracy, plus more.

Tweet vaso link From his recently released album, Strange Weekend , here's the video for Porcelain Raft's "Something In Between."

Something In Between is the new single from Porcelain Raft 's latest album Strange Weekend out now on Secretly Canadian.

By Chris Gedos The Brooklyn band Porcelain Raft proves once again that great things can happen by sticking to the shoegaze formula with zero deviation whatsoever. Most shitty shoegaze takes the formula and tinkers unnecessarily, but Porcelain Raft writes and performs shoegaze pop very, very well, and "Something in Between" is a great example of that, right down to the blatantly ambiguous title. The accompanying video is also of great merit, featuring an animated black dot dancing about the image throughout. With both Porcelain Raft and [...]
Porcelain Raft released another self-directed video today for the song "Something In Between" off his new album Strange Weekend , released last week on the always reliable Secretly Canadian imprint. I don't want to gush too much over this album, but it's definitely the strongest debut I've heard thus far in 2012. There's a link to my full review of the album over at Passion of the Weiss below.

O Porcelain Raft acaba de lançar clipe para Something In Between , b-side do single Unless You Speak From Your Heart , EP que deve ser lançado em 21 de fevereiro. A faixa não faz parte do álbum Strange Weekend .

What happens when a next-big-thing becomes just a big thing? Judging by Smith Westerns ' performance on February 1 at the Black Cat , going from a 'cool young band' to a band that can maintain an audience's interest through a forty minute set involves major growing pains and maybe even some whining . The night began as Los Angeles' Bleached opened the show with their angry-bored- punk-sisters thing and did I mention they're from the valley? Bleached's thumpy screeching girl rock was followed by Porcelain [...]

Bedroom chillwave musician Muaro Remiddi, aka Porcelain Raft , has released the video for his song "Something In Between," which is set to serve as the b-side to the upcoming single " Unless You Speak From the Heart ." The video simply displays billboards and other urban visuals, but, as Remiddi explains on his YouTube page , there is much deeper meaning to the video: A few months ago I filmed the billboard you see at the beginning of the video. I forgot about those images I took until a week ago, [...]

Here's Mauro: A few months ago I filmed the billboard you see at the beginning of the video. I forgot about those images I took until a week ago, while driving back after filming the video for 'Unless You Speak From You Heart', we saw the same [...]

Porcelain Raft has a new video for the B-side of his soon to be released 7" single Unless You Speak Your Heart. Something In Between can be viewed below and will be available on 2/21, on said single.

Bedroom pop composer Mauro Remiddi (aka Porcelain Raft ) has unveiled the music video for "Something In Between", the B-side to the forthcoming single "Unless You Speak From Your Heart". Sonically, it's another lush, flowing cut of melodic guitars and hazy vocals that melts into a cascade of crashing snares and lighter-than-air vocals. At first glance, the accompanying visuals are merely a random compilation of some billboards and other urban imagery, but as Remiddi explained on his YouTube page , it's an exploration of the connections we don't always notice right away. "A few months ago [...]
