Even if you're well-versed in the ever-blossoming world of lo-fi dream-pop, the music made by Mauro Remiddi as Porcelain Raft will make an impression. It helps that Remiddi's coming to Porcelain Raft with a wealth of experience under his belt; the Italian-born singer/songwriter has been making music, by himself and with others, since 1997. It also helps that, as his debut full-length Strange Weekend ably demonstrates, Remiddi is as comfortable making musical mischief as he is crafting the sorts of melodies that are hard to ignore or forget. —David Raposa
