Porches announces Domino debut Pool, unveils "Hour" clip
New York-based artist Porches - aka Aaron Maine - has announced his second album Pool.
The LP, which follows 2013's Slow Dance In The Cosmos, was written and recorded in his Manhattan apartment.
The video for "Hour" is directed by Alan Del Rio Ortiz (Blood Orange, Danny Brown, St. Vincent, Petite Noir). Del Rio Ortiz says of the clip: "I wanted to create a simple but hallucinogenic montage dealing with a love affair that no longer exists but would never vanish. On the surface we see a young couple driving around the city and sneaking into a swimming pool. However we also see nostalgic imagery that creates a feeling of loss and illustrates a severed relationship."
Speaking about the album, Porches says: “I’m feeling like I’m in a more permanent situation than I’ve been in before. 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.”
Pool is out via Domino on 5 February.
