Porcelain Raft - Strange Weekend

Remiddi's androgynous vapor of a voice weaves like a ghost between Nick Gilder and the Alessi Brothers, Julee Cruise and Judee Sill. In more contemporary terms, Porcelain Raft stands confidently on a high hill between the sounds of M83 and Beach House. Lead track ""Drifting in and Out"" is loping and anthemic; gauzy and chiming. ""Shapeless and Gone"" follows with a heavy strum reminiscent of ""Cosmic Dancer""? full of mood and style without all the wearying excesses and feathered boas.
