Sparta – Porcelain

With Porcelain, Sparta fully step out of At the Drive-In’s shadow to carve a sound that’s more melodic, layered, and emotionally resonant.

Released in 2004, their second album is marked by polished production, ambitious arrangements and lyrics that shift between fragility and restrained fury. It’s a mature, intense record, balancing emotional tension with a constant search for beauty and control — much like porcelain itself: delicate, yet strong.
