Pool

fantano

Porches pull together some decent synth-led pop instrumentals here, but they're topped with some of the most off-key and uninspired vocals I've heard this year.

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.
