Upcoming Porches Tour
Shirt, the new album from Aaron Maine aka Porches, is part angsty fantasy, part confessional melodrama – a rock album that oscillates between reality and make-believe to reflect both the innocence of suburban youth and the frayed reality of adulthood. A fusion of chaotic impulses, insatiable desires, and a perpetual yearning, Shirt plays with the tension between one's person and persona – the weight of your dreams crashing up against your reality. Shirt is instantly recognizable as Porches' heaviest album to date. Grungy guitars that shine with a menacing glint, drums and bass that punch you warmly in the stomach, interspersed with moments of eerie calmness to create a physical sense of tension and release that resonates with each track. From moments of punk-fueled aggression to introspective country-twanged respites, the album combines an array of influences to create the sensation of a mood on the brink of swinging. Porches’ music is equally personal and universal, tapping into moments in life that are intimate, absurd, banal and strangely everyday. His output takes a lifetime of songwriting and cuts it down to its most fundamental parts, taking the listener on a dreamy, primal journey through the mind of a man coping with an incomprehensible time, reveling in the joy and confusion of living through it all.
