The Lost Ark Studio presents "Porcelain" by Mother Falcon, the latest single from the Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 08. Enjoy!
Mother Falcon began as a jam session among a group of high school cellists eager to break out of the classical repertoire that predominated their musical training. Since then the band has evolved as an organic collective of classically trained young musicians determined to push their artistry into new musical territory.
Receiving as many accolades for their intimate chamber performances as for their electrifying club shows, Mother Falcon has crafted a signature soundscape by blending rock, jazz and hip hop rhythms with swirling horns and strings that alternately lead and support equally inventive vocal arrangements. In addition to violins, cellos, saxophones and trumpet, the band includes piano, accordion, banjo and bassoon.
Mother Falcon's debut EP, Still Life, was released in early 2010 and spawned the Austin hit "Marigold." Their first full-length, Alhambra, was released in February 2011 to immediate raves, and now the band has released their acclaimed sophomore album, You Knew. NPR premiered the first track off the album, “Dirty Summer,” naming the band an "Artist To Discover At SXSW 2013". The orchestral-rock ensemble won over audiences with a string of intense performances, resulting in NPR Music including the band in “Bob Boilen’s 15 Essential Moments From SXSW 2013.”
lyrics
Porcelain - Mother Falcon
You wilt down the hall to pour yourself over my porcelain
But I don't mind, take your time, all your words wax absurd.
You're not mine, folding spine, soft pale white will eat your
night, over my porcelain.
