As soon as my beloved Preen did this dress for their Pre-Fall 2012 show, I had a feeling this pattern/colorway was going to make it big. It's a fresh take on combining the best of the florals, lace, and digital print motifs we've seen for several seasons from all corners with a definite twist, the vibrant blue on white a subtle but incredibly accurate visual reference back to the blue and white porcelain of the Ming dynasty in China, which directly influenced the Dutch delftware and, as it turns out, the Staffordshire willow pattern of England. These patterns [...]]]> text/html 2012-07-11T21:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4383046/porcelain-raft-tambin-estrena-vdeo/
Porcelain Raft , el ltimo proyecto del italiano Mauro Remiddi, vio su lbum debut hecho una realidad en enero de este mismo ao, una prueba de que su anterior EP no iba a ser una excepcin, aunque hayan hecho falta 2 aos para escuchar nuevo material. Afortunadamente ahora parece llegar todo de golpe, y es que Porcelain Raft acaba de lanzar su nuevo vdeo, una buena forma de descubrir un proyecto muy interesante. El tema elegido ha sido Strange Weekend, y en la pieza, de poco ms de [...]]]> text/html 2012-05-06T08:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4258809/porcelaine/


Guestposter Steve on super husky angel Mlanie Scala, aka Porcelaine : Regular readers may remember Porcelaine's acclaimed 2010 eponymous EP . Well the band have returned with the release of their debut EP. "La foire aux animaux". Don't be put off by the accompanying press release - this album isn't so much a return to the spirit (over-inflated pomp?) of the 702s as a veritable tour de force of the "son rock-folklorique quebecois" (yep I made that up - but there is a definite style emanating from this French-speaking [...]]]> text/html 2012-04-13T19:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4198863/porcelain-raft-sets-us-tour/

GFP were lucky enough to catch Brooklyn-based Porcelain Raft live earlier in the year, when he supported M83 just prior to the release of his debut album Strange Weekend . We were therefore pleased when we heard that he will return to UK shores next month for a number of live dates (see below), as well as unveiling this brand new video for new single Drifting In And Out . The new single is set for release on 73 and mp3 on June 11th in the UK through Secretly Canadian , and the [...]]]> text/html 2012-03-20T09:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4142684/vinci-porcelain-raft-padova/


Questo mercoled alla Mela di Newton, in centro a Padova, si esibir Porcelain Raft , al secolo Mauro Remiddi , l'italiano del momento con tanto di contratto per la Secretly Canadian. Di origini romane, ha girovagato il mondo per anni trovando poi base a Londra dove la sua poliedrica attivit musicale culminata col progetto solista Porcelain Raft . Gi l'anno scorso aveva dimostrato cos'era capace di fare col suo primo EP, "Fountain's Head"; l'album d'esordio "Strange Weekend", uscito da pochissimo, la conferma delle capacit artistiche di Mauro Remiddi: dream pop dolcissimo, [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-27T04:38:42+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4089588/download-moby-porcelain-acoustic/


This is almost a year old, but I have only just heard this acoustic version of Moby's "Porcelain", performed live at the Wilcox Sessions in LA - a live music initiative that invites musicians to perform in an intimate living room environment.

Anthony Gonzalez and co. rolled into Bristol for the first night of their European tour hot on the heels of their most successful album to-date and with Pitchfork's 'Track Of 20112 accolade lodged firmly under their belts. M83 's rise from electro post-rock-ish underdogs to universally acclaimed, top-of-the-chart bothering indie darlings has been one of the most deserved and satisying journeys of recent years and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who would deny them their time in spotlight . There certainly aren't any in attendance here tonight. Before M83 entertain us we're [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-16T10:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3934042/top-ep-2011/

DJ Kue is quickly becoming one of dance musics fastest rising deejays and producers.

We wrote off Porcelain Raft as one of the seemingly countless synth/disco DJs with a left of center band name that is jamming the bloggosphere every day. Yet, with European dates supporting M83, and a deal with a trustworthy A&R gate keeper in Secretly Canadian, our skepticism began to wane. One listen to the below track "Put Me To Sleep" off of debut album Strange Weekend (1/24), assuaged our fears and brought us into the midst of some hazy, cloudy, European city somewhere, and we were hooked.

Porcelain Raft's music has always had a sketch like quality to it, almost as if Remiddi was worried producing the songs into a more complete form would diminish the emotional impact. If this is his actual reason behind his generally raw approach, he seems to have changed his mind on "Put me to Sleep." The overall production levels seems higher than anything we've heard before, with slicker synth tones, less background noise and a dance-y, pulsing drum machine pushed farther up in the mix than usual. Fortunately, echoes of reverb laden vocals and guitar lines tear through the the track, [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-08T23:14:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3848055/porcelain-raft-put-me-to-sleep/


Porcelain Raft is the Italian-born, London-based Mauro Rimmidi, whose new single "Put Me To Sleep" is a piece of energizing dreampop that captures the romance in the idea that this will soon all be over; that we are all moving beings along the conveyor belt of Earth and every moment is fleeting, so it's best we take advantage of them. The sweet come-on, "Would you put me to sleep?" strings together timid verses that build and eventually break through. He goes on tour with M83 in the new year, and his debut LP Strange Weekend is out January [...]]]>
