Porches is a solo alias of synth-centric indie singer/songwriter Aaron Maine, though at times Porches has functioned as a band. The project emerged in the early 2010s with a '90s alt-rock-derived sound that was centered on guitars and drums but also introduced spacy electronics and Maine's conspicuously yearning vocals. Maine released his sixth album as Porches on September 13, 2024 by Domino
