Boise, ID – “Understanding Time” begins with the frustration and critique of people who feel superior to others based on their beliefs. After the frustration subsides, the song focuses on the fact that when something is forgotten long enough, it becomes lost forever. Whether that is someone’s life, an idea, or a memory. With driving riffs that break apart into unexpected areas, the song is finalized in a drum heavy explosion that gives as much as it releases.
PORCELAIN TONGUE‘s “Understanding Time” will arrive as a co-release between Mishap Records and Moon Ruins Records on Friday, June 26th, 2026.
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.
“…riveting in setting melodically moody rock production to lyrical insight on experiences of loss and grieving…”– Obscure Sound
“…crawling, heart-wrenching, emo-tinged indie rock…”– BuffaBLOG
“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
