about

Porcelain id makes their debut on Unday Records with an impressive acoustic EP. A year after Porcelain id first emerged with the DIY EP Mango, the Rwandan artist releases Reprise, a stripped-down retelling of that debut.

While Mango was a concept EP about queerness, police brutality and identity, Reprise is an intimate and poetic state of affairs, inspired by the drastic changes of the past year. The lo-fi sound has been replaced by breathtaking minimalism.

Porcelain id plays new versions of Blauw, Montana, No Denim and Muschel that match the intensity and intimacy of their impressive live shows. Recordings for the EP were made in one day with Nicolas Rombouts, except for Blauw and Vlaanderen, for which James de Graef from Shht played keys during a second session.

The EP also includes a brand new song: Vlaanderen. The gospel song, sung in Porcelain id’s local Flemish dialect, is a tragically beautiful ode to the misfortune of things and was written on the night in which their son was born. An overwhelming moment that reminded the artist of their own childhood and the struggles that came with it as a black and queer person. Vlaanderen is perhaps their most personal song to date, and live it has already touched many listeners.

Porcelain id is the pseudonym under which Hubert Tuyishime (23, they/them) has been releasing idiosyncratic songs since 2020. The Rwandan artist operating from Antwerp immediately managed to adopt an unmistakable, recognizable style, characterized by their raw, emotional voice.

Hubert switches smoothly between Dutch and English and distinguishes themselves with hyper-personal lyrics about identity, gender and racism and a unique musicality influenced by Dan Bejar (Destroyer), Bon Iver and Daniel Johnston. In two years time, Porcelain id has become one of the most interesting emerging talents in Flanders, opening for Meskerem Mees, Sylvie Kreusch and Roland Van Campenhout, winning Sound Track and building an impressive live reputation.
