Melancholic pop purveyor Aaron Maine is back with a new Porches album, a brand new video, and a Boston tour date with label-mate Alex G. Written and produced entirely in the singer-songwriter’s Manhattan apartment, Pool, along with new single “Hour,” features the same introspection Maine is known for, but with an added layer of sophistication and polish in production.
“I’m feeling like I’m in a more permanent situation than I’ve been in before,” Maine said in a press release. “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.”
Preview the new sound in the video for “Hour” below while you wait for the album’s February 5 release via Domino Records, and catch Porches on tour with Alex G at the Middle East Downstairs on April 12.
