Porcelain’s track 'Hearsay', stands as a testament to the band’s evolving sound and their ability to craft deeply resonant music
Originally titled 'Porcelain' before they adopted that name as their band moniker, this song holds a special place in their discography as a formative piece that shaped their direction.
Recorded and produced at Blank Studios by Sam Grant of Pigs x7, 'Hearsay' is a dynamic track that melds alternative rock with a touch of grit and sophistication. The song opens with a compelling major-leaning riff that immediately grabs the listener’s attention. This riff, paired with engaging progressions, creates an upbeat yet reflective atmosphere that underpins the track’s thematic depth.
The artwork, created by the band’s frequent collaborator Kristian Szinnay, complements the music with its striking visuals, echoing the song’s blend of emotional intensity and artistic nuance. The cover art visually captures the essence of 'Hearsay,' aligning perfectly with the track’s introspective and somewhat defiant tone.
'Hearsay' delves into the experience of feeling misunderstood by someone who means a lot. Curtis explains,
“Imagine there is someone who means an awful lot to you, and that someone just doesn’t fully ‘get’ you. That is basically what the song is about.”
Despite the song’s exploration of being out of sync with others, there’s an underlying message of optimism and self-affirmation. Curtis adds, “Because of the major-leaning riff and progressions, I felt like there was an underlying optimistic message that needed to be conveyed too. It’s about both caring and not caring what people think.”
'Hearsay' is a powerful example of Porcelain’s ability to blend emotional depth with compelling rock elements, showcasing their growth as artists while staying true to their core identity.
