Porcelain Raft
Porcelain Raft is the name under which Mauro Remiddi labours, crafting and building beautiful soundscapes at will. On the back of what has truly been a long weekend I can think of no better palette cleanser than Porcelain Raft. Remiddi never rushes the ambient build present in so many songs on the record so that when one stops to think about the girth of sound at the end of the track it proves hard to pinpoint just when it got so thick. He must be a patient man, this Mauro Remiddi. Mostly you just need to hear this one song in particular, ‘Backwords’. I don’t want to do the album and injustice though, it’s pretty swell. It’s riddled with smart production choices from first to last and Remiddi’s plaintive voice is an absolute treat. I first heard the record when it was FBi’s album of the week sometime early this year and made the purchase. I recommend you do the same.
