Porchlight Share Sweaty Riffs And Claustrophobic Uncertainty In New Single 'Noel'

Porchlight returns with 'Noel' and reinforces their position as a dominant force in the UK post-punk scene.

In a world starved for authentic rock music, Porchlight emerges from the shadows with their latest single 'Noel'. The track, recorded at east London's Haha Sounds Studio, is a blistering eruption of sweat-laden riffs and an indulgently expansive breakdown, guaranteed to leave listeners in a state of sonic ecstasy. Producer Syd Kemp, known for his work with The Horrors, Thurston Moore, and HMLTD, masterfully captured the raw energy that defines Porchlight's sound.

'Noel' is a triumphant re-introduction to Porchlight, a band poised to fulfill the promise they showed with their early singles 'Drywall', 'Country Manor', and 'Silver Spoon'. These tracks garnered support from influential platforms such as So Young, BBC Introducing, Fred Perry Subculture, and Rodeo, solidifying Porchlight's status as a band to watch. Their rise to prominence led them to grace the stages of renowned music festivals like Transmusicales and Musical Chorus in France.

When asked about the meaning behind 'Noel', the band elaborated on its portrayal of imitation and uncertainty invading the sanctity of home. The music video, an evocative visual representation of the song's claustrophobic tone, was brought to life through a painting by their talented friends Beth Vincent and George Smith. James Ogram, known for his work with Deathcrash, Honeyglaze, and Jessica Winter, directed the stunning video, complemented by additional contributions from Anouska Sokolow of Honeyglaze.
