As Italian musician Mauro Remiddi (aka Porcelain Raft) prepares to release his Half Awake EP on June 2, he's shared the title track. And it's a beauty.

The delicate cut finds Remiddi's lush vocals wrapped in a savory bass line, creating a glorious dreamscape.

"Just before we wake up, when we are half awake, our left brain is pushing the subconscious back in the basement," Remiddi said of the track. "For a few seconds, we see without thinking. In this song, my subconscious didn't go back in the basement. It's about coming to terms with yourself, [but] I realized how priceless it is to have someone special to share everything with. In this song, I'm sailing toward the loved one."

The Los Angeles-based artist will release Half Awake digitally and on limited-edition cassettes via his own Volcanic Field record label.
