The House

"The House" to trzeci pełnowymiarowy album nowojorskiego muzyka znanego jako Porches (a.k.a Aaron Maine).

W czternaście utworów, które znajdą się na płycie, wkład mieli także: (Sandy) Alex G, Dev Hynes, Okay Kaya, Maya Laner (True Blue), Bryndon Cook (Starchild & The New Romantic), Cameron Wisch (Cende) oraz jego ojciec Peter Maine.

Album zapowiada lodowato zimny utwór "Find Me", dotykający takich tematów jak lęk, ucieczka i izolacja. Teledysk do nowego singla wyreżyserowany został przez Maine’a i Nicka Harwooda.

"The House" jest pamiętnikiem – mówi Aaron. "Zrodził się z nagłej potrzeby. Innej nagłej potrzeby, niż miałem do tej pory tworząc piosenki. Nie wiedziałem w tamtym momencie, co to oznacza, ale czułem, że muszę się temu poddać."

Porches’ third record The House is a conscious effort in minimalism and honesty. "Making Pool”—the band’s 2016 breakthrough record, and Domino debut—“I learned how valuable the spirit of the demos are,” says singer Aaron Maine, “so this time I made a point of capturing a song the day it was conceived.” Because of this desire to document immediate sensations, the record’s fourteen tracks offer a series of diaristic vignettes. There are moments of emerging from fear of ego death (“Leave the House,” “By My Side,” “Now The Water”), escaping the corporeal (“Now The Water,” “Swimmer”), the terrifying thrill of young love (“Country,” “W Longing”), and parting with the past (“Wobble,” “Goodbye”).While these themes possibly paint The House in a dark light, the record is marked by an excitement at the prospect of self-discovery, and commitment to the process of getting there.

Though Aaron largely composes on his own, The House features contributions by Alexander Giannascoli ((Sandy) Alex G), Dev Hynes (Blood Orange), Maya Laner (True Blue, Porches), Kaya Wilkins (Okay Kaya), Bryndon Cook (Starchild & the New Romantic), Cameron Wisch (Cende, Porches), Jason Arce, Bea1991, and his own father, Peter Maine. As with Pool, Aaron brought his recorded work to Chris Coady (Beach House, Slowdive, TV on the Radio), who then mixed The House at his Sunset Sound studio.
