The track sees the band exploring the warm feelings of home and the conflicting emotions that come with leaving
Celebrated by the poignant and endlessly compelling nature of the distinctive indie-folk sound, The Deep Blue spent the last few years as one of the UK’s most consistent and charming stalwarts of the genre, building up a catalogue of tracks that feel as captivating and endearing as they are deeply thoughtful and immersive.
Their new single ‘Porcelain’ is a track that continues to build upon the stylish appeal of their sound and the resonating glow of their relatable lyrics, opening up about themes like leaving home and the uncertainty that comes with starting again and making fresh connections and roots, even if just in temporary places like university halls. The band do a great job of taking the cosy and familiar and articulating it through their sound, with the warmth of their layered vocals and nuanced instrumentation, with their sound acting as a beacon of light and reassurance no matter how far away from home you might be.
Speaking of the track, the band say, “This was one of the first songs we’ve recorded in Manchester! Which is ridiculous given we’re a Manchester band! It was a nice sunny day and we’re all squished into a bright room at the very top of a mill. We always have fun recording but this time was extra joyous. We spend more time together than with our families these days and this song is all about finding a home away from home. For that reason, it just felt kind of tingly. Like a little secret we were carrying around has been made into music.
A lot of people live away from home. A lot of people miss home! We see you. We miss our homes too. But we have each other and we love each other and when you listen to our music, you enter our wee bubble of love and you become a member of The Deep Blue family in all its messy madness and comforting warmth.”
