Porches’ new LP Pool is out via Domino this Friday, February 5th. Ahead of its release, the band have released the single “Car”. Porches’ Aaron Maine tells us about the song, saying “‘Car’ is about leaving a place where you’re unhappy and the beauty of arriving somewhere where you feel good. Whether you escape physically or mentally it’s just about using your facilities to take control of your situation. Positive mental attitude.”

Porches will be taking off on an extensive 2016 North American tour this Spring, a co-headline with label-mate Alex G, featuring Your Friend, another fellow Domino artist, on support for all dates. The run includes stops at Savannah Stopover Festival, Spillover Festival and Treefort Music Fest, along with the band’s SXSW debut! Full schedule to follow.

Pool, Porches’ (aka Aaron Maine) debut full-length for Domino, and a major step forward for Maine -as an evolving singer/songwriter, and as a nascent producer. Written and recorded almost entirely in his Manhattan apartment, and mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Tobias Jesso Jr) in Los Angeles, Poolwas influenced, in part, by settling in the city as an artist and a person. Says Maine, “there was something special about recording this album in my new home. To be surrounded by the city and in my own world at the same time. I quickly became obsessed with the energy around me, and my experience of New York – I was forced to see my music in an entirely different context. This was challenging, but also exciting, when the songs started to sound like a true reflection of what I was feeling in my new surroundings.”
