A Conversation With porches. an interview by ian stanley
Brooklyn-based PORCHES. has had a big year, especially following the release of the wildly well-revieved full-length Slow Dance in the Cosmos. Here, band frontman Aaron Maine talks about finding meaning in “the cosmos,” the therapy of songwriting, and what lies ahead for him and his band. Listen to PORCHES. at porchesmusic.bandcamp.com. Ian: When talking about Porches. music, the tag “bummer pop” gets thrown around a lot. Is that something you’ve ever claimed? Aaron: I don’t know if I’ve ever claimed that Porches. is bummer pop…but it sort of makes sense. it’s def pop, and it’s kind of bummery, I guess; but I also like to think it has some redeeming qualities…like even though stuff is a bummer, it’s gonna be alright.
