Porches
Japanese Breakfast, Rivergazer
When Aaron Maine looks back on his early work as Porches, he's often struck by how sad and angry it can feel. "That music turned out a lot more pessimistic than I intended it to be," he says. "But when I took a sad moment and turned it into a song, it was a cathartic, positive, and clean process. For me, those moments were victories. Feeling better," he adds, "was making a song."

As it turns out, Maine is very good at making songs. Over the last few years, the 27-year-old singer and songwriter has released a wealth of material on a number of influential labels, including singles on Terrible (2014's Prism), Birdtapes (2013's Townie Blunt Guts) and Seagreen (2014's Leather), as well as a beautiful yet crushing full-length on Exploding in Sound (2013's Slow Dance In The Cosmos). And in the process he's become a magnetic live presence while playing out in New York, gaining the notice of discerning listeners and labels alike. February 2016 marks the much-anticipated release of Pool, his debut full-length for Domino and a major step forward for him—as an evolving singer/songwriter, and as a nascent producer. Written and recorded almost entirely in the Manhattan apartment he shares with his partner and frequent collaborator, Greta Kline a.k.a Frankie Cosmos, Pool is an elegantly drawn set of gorgeous, synth-driven pop songs that were influenced, in part, by settling in the city as an artist and a person. "I'm feeling like I'm in a more permanent situation than I've been in before," he says. "There is something special about recording at home. It's why it sounds the way it does. Being able to obsess over it on your own time and being in your own little cube knowing you're surrounded by the city, being able to go so deep into it and to spend hours building it, loving it: all of that allowed me to reflect and focus on things a little closer."
