We had only heard a handful of EP’s from Brooklyn-based Mauro Remiddi, or Porcelain Raft as you probably know him, and he’s gearing up for the big release of his first and very highly anticipated album Strange Weekend, which is set to drop next week.
It’s a very intimate and expressive pop effort from someone with Remiddi’s musical track record playing gypsy Klezmer in Europe, who is now touring with the likes to M83, Smith Westerns, and Youth Lagoon. We’re really in love with the dreamy sound of his tunes so far, and luckily you can listen to Strange Weekend below via Hype Machine, lord knows we couldn’t possibly wait another day for this beautiful music.
Buy the album on January 24th via Secretly Canadian and be sure to catch them opening for Smith Westerns later this month in Toronto on January 27th.
