Pool
“On Pool, Aaron Maine has shed the murky folk of previous recordings for a homespun electronic sound that consciously pulls away from the "rock" elements. Greta Kline, who fronts Frankie Cosmos, loans backing vocals or basslines to many of the best songs. You can imagine the shy kids dance parties the album will soundtrack, but Pool is also an introspective record, tailormade for lonesome nights.”
Shirt
“On the darkly exhilarating sixth studio album from Porches, Aaron Maine is staring at the big sky, ditching school, climbing fences and being so rock 'n' roll even the most beat-to-death tropes resonate like cultural awakenings.Shirt's tracklist and lyric sheet read like a cloud map of the American Imagination; sonically, it ricochets between stripped-down ballads, country-twanged bops and post-pu”

Now back with their second release on Domino in as many years, ‘The House’ sees Aaron Maine and friends plunge further into their glamorous reviva”
The House
“Maine's ability to draw out peculiar emotions and thoughtfully pairing them with euphoric sounds in a deliberate way makes The House a natural and more than satisfying sequel to Pool. ”
