Bracht's love of music began aged six, when he started to play drums. He started producing when he was sixteen, and had developed a live techno set by eighteen. To date he has played shows worldwide, shared the stage with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Sven Vath and had an international club hit with his first single. Nikolaus' musical career was born out of the independent scene, where he signed with New York label Wolf + Lamb and had extensive solo touring experience.
The pair met in 2012 at their favourite club in their hometown of Frankfurt. After years of friendship and touring their individual projects they formed Lea Porcelain and soon gained fans across international blogs, as well as Lauren Laverne and Tom Ravenscroft at BBC 6Music, who have touted them as a band to watch in the year ahead.
On the live circuit they've played to spellbound fans at some of the best European festivals and venues, including Eurosonic, Reeperbahn and Berlin's Berghain Kantine.
Sonically, their sound recalls the dystopic darkness of early Manchester but with a uniquely entrancing use of electronic synths and drums.
Lyrically, they are inspired by Post-Punk, New Wave, Indie-Folk and Krautrock. The resulting three track EP is a menacing collection of sweeping instrumentals and emotional swells.
Lea Porcelain's debut EP 'Out Is In' will be released via Kobalt on April 2016.

Lea Porcelain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time moving slow, a million blunts a hundred hours
All the windows down rolling wraps full of flowers
I light the match, I light the end
Smoke it like my Prowler
Murals on the wall
Stained glass ceilings
Marble floor walking
Statues made of me, in the living room
Water fountains full of syrup
Spitting neck full of jewels
I'm getting high
I'm laying low
I'm rolling up my blunts
I'm getting high
I'm laying low
I'm Kreepin in the Kut
The lyrics to Lea Porcelain's song Bones depict a scene of excess and indulgence as the singer travels in a limousine, smoking blunt after blunt and enjoying the luxuries of wealth. The description of the surroundings becomes increasingly opulent, with murals on the walls, stained glass ceilings and statues made in the singer's likeness. Yet, amidst this display of wealth, there is a hint of melancholy as the singer mentions making money for their children, suggesting a sense of responsibility and perhaps regret at the cost of this lifestyle.
The chorus, "I'm getting high, I'm laying low, I'm rolling up my blunts, I'm Kreepin in the Kut," captures the mood of the song, with a sense of hedonism and a desire to escape into the pleasures of the moment. The repetition of "getting high" and "laying low" reinforces the sense of indulgence and relaxation, while the phrase "Kreepin in the Kut" suggests a sense of secrecy or a desire to hide away.
Overall, the song Bones paints a vivid picture of a world of excess and hedonism, with a bittersweet undercurrent suggesting a sense of disillusionment with this lifestyle.
Line by Line Meaning
Riding in the limousine watching rocket power
Savoring the journey, enjoying the ride while indulging in the power of weed
Time moving slow, a million blunts a hundred hours
High on weed, time seems to be at a standstill and it feels like a million blunts have been smoked in just a hundred hours
All the windows down rolling wraps full of flowers
Feeling the breeze, smoking weed wrapped in bright and colorful papers
I light the match, I light the end
Lighting the matchstick and watching the flame take over the end of the blunt
Smoke it like my Prowler
Smoking the weed like a passionate owner drives his Prowler car
Murals on the wall
Artistic depictions on the walls
Stained glass ceilings
Beautiful and colorful glass ceilings that create an ethereal atmosphere
Marble floor walking
Walking on a luxurious marble floor
Making money for my children
Working hard and creating wealth to leave a comfortable legacy for the children
Statues made of me, in the living room
Proudly displaying statues of oneself in the living room as a mark of one's achievements
Water fountains full of syrup
Fountains full of sweet and thick liquid that represent the richness and sweetness of life
Spitting neck full of jewels
Wearing expensive jewelry that exudes a sense of power and luxury
I'm getting high
Expressing the act of getting stoned or intoxicated by inhaling the smoke of marijuana
I'm laying low
Maintaining a low profile and staying out of trouble while enjoying the effects of the marijuana
I'm rolling up my blunts
Rolling and preparing more weed to smoke
I'm Kreepin in the Kut
Being sneaky and furtive in hiding from others while indulging in the pleasure of smoking weed

Bones
What do I care about your bones?
I will remember you as once
Or mine or anybody’s bones?
I hold you eager on the sands
And there’s destruction in that romance
I want to be the child I am
not wait in death row
but now it seems for you
So, so
Now
it seems for you
Oh
Why do I care about your bones?
I will remember you at once
Or Mine or anybody’s bones
And memories too
but bones are bones
And there’s destruction in that romance
I want to be the child I am
Not wait in death row
Now it seems for you
So, so
Your eyes if they shall glance again
Your hands grip mine and once again
When time was ripe and love come fast
And lingered on
remained alive
And there’s destruction in that romance
I want to be the child I am. Not wait in death rows
Now it seems for you?
So, so
Now it seems for you?
Oh..
Now it seems for you?
What do I care about your bones?
I will remember you at once
Or Mine or anybody’s bones
And memories too
but bones are bones.
