Aaron Maine has been making records under the Porches moniker since 2010, and with his sixth album Shirt it's clear his craft is well and truly honed to perfection. Oscillating between guitar grunge and auto-tune synth pop jams, these tunes are confessional, but catchy as hell. Check out single Rag to get the full scope and 2024 Porches experience! - Flying Out
Part angsty fantasy, part confessional melodrama, Shirt – the sixth studio album from Porches – is 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. The result is something both familiar and uncanny, an anthemic tribute to this intrinsic duality built on crashing and caressing sounds.
Following in the sonic footsteps of 2022’s All Day Gentle Hold !, 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.
