Releases Shirt Expansion Pack
Featuring two new tracks “Shirt” & “Lunch”
Out today via Domino
EU/UK Tour kicks off this week
Includes date at London’s Heaven 16th April
US Amphitheater tour with Wallows this May & June
Porches releases Shirt Expansion Pack, the follow-up to last year’s full-length Shirt, featuring the two brand-new tracks “Shirt” and “Lunch.” Both songs were mixed by Geoff Swan. Aaron Maine’s full-blooded scream on “Shirt” and the manic ping-ponging energy of “Lunch” both carry over the dialed-up grunge rock dynamic that Maine unveiled on Shirt.

PRAISE FOR SHIRT:
“Equal parts hypnotic and melodic.” Esquire
“On his heaviest, spikiest album to date, Aaron Maine’s shredded production and raw arrangements evoke existential angst and quotidian despair.” Pitchfork
“[A] thrillingly strange atmosphere. It’s a big leap from his previous material — his strongest stuff yet.” Stereogum
“A compelling return.” Uncut
“Shirt is a far cry from the lo-fi bedroom pop of Porches’ earlier recordings, featuring more bombastic production and swerves in genre.” Vogue
“An emotion-packed miniature, you can hear shades of Pearl Jam or Mudhoney in the guitar riffs, while Aaron Maine‘s empathetic vocal yearns for connection.” Clash
