Porcelain Raft - Backwords (2012)
Overnight, this became my favorite song and this my favorite album of the still very young year. Probably more in aura (but also lyrically—English isn’t Mauro Remiddi’s first language either), Backwards reminds me of late, post-divorce ABBA. Swirling synthetic gimcrackery buffs regret and some basic chords to a romantic pop glassine. But it’s the singer’s earned maturity that catches in your throat. When he imagines his ex in a hotel room with her new beau, they’re playing cards. He knows—and you know—that nothing could be more intimate.
