Lovesize
Porcelain recorded its first 4-track single “Lovesize” at Sweet Silence Studios with producer Leo Wassinger. “Lovesize” received airplay from national and local radio stations and led to interest from major and independent labels.
In 1997, Porcelain accepted an offer from the indie label Lidocaine and started writing new songs for a full-length album. That summer, the band left for Manchester, United Kingdom, to record with Mark Pilkington. The band wanted to bring more electronic elements to the music. Lorentzen left the band and was replaced by Morten Pauck.
Perfect Daze
The new album Perfect Daze was released in 1997. Porcelain performed its first national tour in the spring of 1998 accompanied by the violinist Vivi .... Mørkholt left the band and was replaced by Christian Odor. During the tour Porcelain played with The Ark. Porcelain also played a memorial concert for Jeff Buckley together with Steen Jørgensen of Sort Sol, Kasper Eistrup of Kashmir, Mikael Simpson and Hanne Boel.
