Feb 22, 2012All in all, it's a solid debut effort and one that never spares on electronic dramatics and an extensive array of far-ranging ideas.
-
Jan 27, 2012The legacy of Remiddi's latest LP, Strange Weekend, is the eerily beautiful atmosphere it creates, just like the work of older artists such as Angelo Badalamenti, and more recent work by Ariel Pink, Perfume Genius, and John Maus, who invest a huge amount of emotion and cerebral conceit into their work, which pads out their music with shambolic, poetic insulation.
-
Jan 26, 2012Strange Weekend takes on the lofty task of musical multitasking and succeeds.
-
Jan 25, 2012Strange Weekend is a very impressive debut album, full of craft, emotion, and songs that you'll want to listen to again and again.
-
Jan 24, 2012Strange Weekend's gauzy dream-pop is almost incapable of provoking anything but love.
-
Under The RadarJan 19, 2012Underneath the shimmering haze of drum loops, tape hiss, and gently strummed guitars... [this] is ultimately a pop album - a flight of lo-fi fancy anchored by some very real(and very catchy) pop hooks.[#39, p.69]
-
UncutJan 18, 2012Strange Weekend drifts and delights. [Feb 2012, p.97]

Feb 10, 2012Remiddi is able to successfully channel trippy psychedelia of beyond.
-
Jan 24, 2012Built on meticulously constructed and delicately polished dream-pop soundscapes, delivered with urgency and momentum.
-
Jan 30, 2012Porcelain Raft borrows liberally from both the shoegaze and dream-pop playbooks, and so we get layers of sonic gauze shot through with delicately strummed acoustic guitar patterns and Remiddi's reedy, rather androgynous voice.
-
Feb 22, 2012Porcelain Raft's airy concoctions work best when you're not thinking about them.
-
Feb 16, 2012In many ways, this album feels more like a culmination than a debut, and Remiddi's vast and varied musical experience infuse his songs with a sense of confidence and craftsmanship that is often lacking in the work of his younger and less experienced peers.
-
Feb 2, 2012A perfectly pleasant contribution to the mysterious forces driving indie pop these days.

Jan 30, 2012Strange Weekend merits return visits, and it rewards close listening.

-
Jan 17, 2012This is an impressive debut and a solid step toward a more realised identity.
-
Jan 17, 2012Most certainly a bedroom record affair and perhaps suffering for this fact but the overall sentiment captured make up for whatever shortcomings may be presented.
-
Jan 17, 2012[Remiddi's] fastidious mentality manages to keep this song suite afloat, even if the sails aren't always full of creative wind.
