Austin post-hardcore band Porcelain will release their sophomore album, Today’s Minor Victories, on October 23 via TODO Records. The band have also shared the album’s latest single, “Apocalypse,” alongside an official video directed by Pooneh Ghana and filmed on a Texas ranch.
Today’s Minor Victories is 47 minutes of dynamic post-hardcore recorded live with minimal layering. The record leans into grief, loss and perseverance, with Porcelain sounding tighter and more direct than ever.
Speaking about “Apocalypse,” the band shared: “This is a song about the loss of innocence. Growing up, the future looked so bright and promising, like we could all make something of this world for the better. But then we witness tragedy after tragedy unfold in front of our childlike eyes, and the world that we looked forward to growing up in now looks like it’s unattainable, collapsing in slow motion. Realizing that the world is full of insecure men searching for power, greed, resources, and the unquenchable thirst of violent imperialism. The future we were promised as children never came to be, and now we’re all but subjected to the systemic violence that our country was founded on.”
