• Porches The House review – jaded romantic intricate synthpop
  (Domino)Porches started out making bedroom-rock in 2010, but frontman Aaron Maine has since steered his project into sheeny synth territory. Their third album, The House, retains the polished introspection and cleansing water imagery of previous record Pool, but goes deeper into Maine’s exploration of tender emotions. This is while getting more stripped back and minimalist than ever, with an aimless, delicate immersiveness.There’s a vulnerable lightness that pervades the record, in spite of fleeting moments of jarring dissonance and numerous spiky DANCE tracks. Simple lyrics such as “I have no idea who I see in the mirror” (on By My Side) sound isolated in the mix, displaying a rawness perhaps explained by Maine writing lyrics from his journal entries, and recording most songs the day they were conceived. The result is an immediacy that revels in its shortcomings and errors. Continue reading...

• Porches The House review – beguiling flawed dancewarmed pop
  (Domino)Despite having graduated from dirge-like indie to downbeat but DANCE ble synthpop over the course of their first two albums, Porches (otherwise known as singular New Yorker Aaron Maine) don’t change tack again on their third. Instead, The House doubles down on Maine’s previous fusion of DANCE MUSIC and languid crooning, weaving house flavours into a record that can feel emotionally one-note, but sonically beguiling. Refreshingly, Maine largely eschews the increasingly wearisome tropes of contemporary synthpop (snappy drums, patchworks of treated vocal samples): opener Leave the House sees his listless vocal underlaid with a warm, pulsating synth line that recalls Robin S’s Show Me Love, while follow-up Find Me brings its DANCE music

• Porches A SynthObsessed Songwriter Learns to Be Alone But Not Lonely
  On "Be Apart," a morose synth-bit confessional from Porches' crepuscular new LP, Pool, it sounds like Aaron Maine is having a hard time making up his mind. "I wanna be apart," he sings, with the flat-yet-undulating intonation of a reluctant karaoke singer trying to nail a pop smash — first by himself, and then joined by the faint
