Porches releases surprise new EP Water, shares video for "Black Dress"

Porches has today released a new EP titled Water, which includes unreleased tracks and alternate versions of songs on his Pool record.

The EP was recorded in New York City by Porches, and sees key numbers, such as "Car", pared back to their humble roots.

Porches' Aaron Maine writes of Water:

"I spent the first year after releasing Slow Dance In The Cosmos teaching myself how to record music. I ended up with a bunch of pretty realized demos for songs that ended up on Pool during that process. It was a loose and explorative time for me. I wanted to release a select few of these 'demos' because I always find the excitement captured by recording a song when you first write it to be almost impossible to recreate later down the line. I chose to re-record all of the songs that were to be on Pool because I felt like by the time I had a batch of songs that I felt would make an album, I had grown as a producer and wanted to give them another pass. Either way, it’s fun to listen back to these earlier versions of the songs and remember how they first existed."

The EP is out now via Domino. Maine is touring Europe this October - find all his upcoming dates on Songkick.
