Porcelain Raft’s ‘Half Awake’ Is a Gauzy Dream [Stream]

Porcelain Raft – Half Awake SoundCloud

Porcelain Raft’s “Half Awake” makes the world move in slow motion. The vocals of Mauro Remiddi are crisp and delicate, sung as though his lyrics and music are fragile. His flawlessly layered harmonies are soft, syrupy and shyly elusive, capturing a floating feeling. The instrumental side of “Half Awake” is silky — it’s soft and smooth while still remaining climatic — adding layer after layer of lonely guitar hooks and electro-synth. Porcelain Raft’s EP Half Awake, released June 6, can be streamed on Soundcloud.
