London-via-Italy transplant Mauro Remiddi (Sunny Day Sets Fire) follows a year of releasing a series of low-key EPs with his project's proper debut.
Many aspiring indie musicians take the home-recorded path for lack of a better option; singer/songwriter Mauro Remiddi, who's spent the past year and change recording spectral indie pop as Porcelain Raft, revealed to P4Ker Ryan Dombal in last year's Rising profile that, for him, that path is a preferred aesthetic. The 37-year old London-via-Italy transplant previously did time in the little-known indie pop outfit Sunny Day Sets Fire, so he knows his way around a recording studio-- experience that, ironically, makes the tape-hissed tack more desirable for him. In his previous career in a full-band setting, he outlined: "I started to make demos to show them, but then I suddenly realized that I liked the demos more than the final recordings... I like the idea of a work in progress."
