Boise, ID – Introspective post-rock outfit Porcelain Tongue will release their new album Don’t Obscure The Sunon September 10th, 2026, and this time they’re looking forward as much as they are back. Their follow-up to their debut album Goodbye Peggy finds them often dealing with the same tribulations, those of grief, mourning, and loss, but Max Voulelis’s lyrics often tinge with a rosy hopefulness.
The songs as a whole ride a tight line between anthemic and riff-driven heaviness, and they bounce back and forth between these ideas of yesterday and tomorrow thematically front to back. Voulelis writes of people making up shapes, taking up light, and leaving somewhere he can’t see. Don’t Obscure The Sun once again proves Porcelain Tongue is one of Boise’s most exciting bands to listen to today and though the album’s markers are of life’s bitter trials the songs show there is light in the dark.
PORCELAIN TONGUE‘s Don’t Obscure The Sun will arrive as a co-release between Mishap Records and Moon Ruins Records on Thursday, September 10th, 2026.

“The music matches the fatalism of the lyric: Dark, heavy, with riffs that crash like waves on the shore, relentless and unyielding. Guitars that peal like church bells take us out as those riffs recur, as indomitable as the hands of time… and, to borrow a line, we beat on, boats against the current, borne ceaselessly back into the past. It’s not every punk single that inspires thoughts of F. Scott Fitzgerald. This one does.” – Jim Testa / Jersey Beat
“…riveting in setting melodically moody rock production to lyrical insight on experiences of loss and grieving…”– Obscure Sound

“Porcelain Tongue are bringing something fresh and interesting to the rock and punk scene. What they are also bringing is raw honesty in their lyrics and a complex instrumental soundscape that perfectly emotes difficult themes.” – York Calling
