PORCELAIN RAFT

http://porcelainraft.com/

Somewhere in New York, Rome, or maybe London, there is a suitcase full of tapes, minidiscs and CDs — days and days worth of music, all of it the result of Mauro Remiddi's 27 years of travels across Europe — from his native Italy to London; of caravanning with the Berlin Youth Circus playing traditional gypsy Klezmer music; of reinterpreting traditional music in North Korea; and of a stint playing piano for an Off Broadway tap dance show. At this point, Remiddi has lived three musicians' lifetimes.

Mauro Remiddi, musically known as Porcelain Raft, has just released his debut album 'Strange Weekend' on Secretly Canadian.

BOY FRIEND (USA)

http://boyfriendmusic.tumblr.com/

Boy Friend is best buds Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown. With a creative partnership that combines different stylistic preferences and attitude with a passion for fantasy, narratives and dreamy, lovesick lyrics, their song writing is led by strong lead vocal and guitar melodies layered in harmonies, ambiance, and thick atmospheric backdrops.

The two have collaborated on several projects together in their 15 year friendship, but it wasn't until the end of 2010 while going through a rough break-up from their last band Sleep Over that they regrouped to record their first EP as a duo. It was a heavily charged "break-up" album disguised in hazy undertones and big choruses. The following spring they recorded their Lovedropper 7", and by Summer of 2011 recorded their first full-length, entitled Egyptian Wrinkle, in a friend's house in north Austin surrounded by dogs, bongos, and plenty of warm Texan vibes.

FADED GOLD (UK)

http://fadedgold.bandcamp.com/

Faded Gold marries this air of melancholy to mournful piano and an electronic fuzz which is both reflective, tinged with sadness but ultimately uplifting.
