Porcelain Raft, aka Rome native Mauro Remiddi, has signed with Secretly Canadian, the venerated American label responsible for launching the stellar likes of Antony and the Johnsons, Suuns and Yeasayer into the wider consciousness. A full length album is expected soon but you can listen to the track ‘Amateur’s Feeling’ below.
Currently writing and recording his debut LP, Remiddi attracted attention and acclaim in 2010 when he released his debut single, “Tip Of Your Tongue” and the “Gone Blind” EP, both on the taste-making label Acéphale. Winning plaudits on both side of the pond (the Guardian named him their “favourite abstract-computer-kid-sings-heart-out of 2010”, while Pitchfork lauded the “intimate sounding, homespun guitar pop that seems to be in short supply these days”), Remiddi went on to support the likes of Blonde Redhead, Yuck, Perfume Genius and more, before leaving audiences at SXSW spellbound by his distinctive vein of ethereal, mesmeric love songs.
