clayrossner Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 http://porchesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/pool750 coke bottle limited edition variants February 2016 marks the much-anticipated release of Pool, Porches’ debut full-length for Domino and a major step forward for frontman Aaron Maine—as an evolving singer / songwriter, and as a nascent producer. Written and recorded almost entirely in the Manhattan apartment he shares with his partner and frequent collaborator, Greta Kline a.k.a Frankie Cosmos, Pool is an elegantly drawn set of gorgeous synth-driven pop songs, and an expansive re-articulation of the melancholy we’ve come to expect from him; from the pristine harmonies of “Hour” to the undulating R&B of “Underwater” to the Auto-tuned majesty of the title track. “I feel like I naturally gravitate towards the more melancholic experiences in life,” he says, “but this time around I tried to dissect those moments and somehow extract what was so beautiful about them.” The result—recorded twice, and eventually mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear, Beach House, Tobias Jesso Jr.) in his Los Angeles studio—is a sophisticated and fully immersive listening experience, with Maine’s voice at its center. “I want people to feel dark, beautiful and strong when they hear this new record,” he adds, “I want them to fall in love.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Wait, is this the Porches that did a split with LVL UP? If so, the bands the producer has done work for really threw me off. I didn't even realize they were still a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 special edition sold out on bandcamp, domino link still works for now. maybe there will be a tour press or something cool. he's been playing these songs for a while and I think they're his best. Still available on Domino US. He probably only had a small number of copies to sell on bandcamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 yep, amazing amazing live show if you ever get the chance to see them definitely worth it. I've seen them twice now, and the second time at CMJ it was astounding they've really tightened up their sound also the MP3 of hour doesn't do it much justice.

copelandkid Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 looks like the colored version is limited to 350 in the US and sold out at Domino too holding out for a tour press and/or retail distro, cuz Domino has horrid shipping rates. new track "Be Apart" is fire:http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/17908-porches-be-apart/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copelandkid Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 just realized i can grab it when i'm in Germany in a few months, and with Domino's free shipping in Germany, I'll save 5 or 6 bucks in the process. delayed gratification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freverend Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I would love to trade my spare copy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I would love to trade my spare copy... I'll trade you the amount of money you paid plus shipping... or did you buy it just to try to lure someone into sending you something rare?

OldKentuckyShark Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 For those of you like myself that missed out, Rough Trade has the variant: http://www.roughtrade.com/albums/99590 It says clear and not Coke bottle clear BUT I have to think its the UK Coke bottle version. If not, then it's a clear variant that is equal in rarity to the Coke bottle variant. And with Domino's ridiculous shipping prices, this one doesn't come out to too much more.

dvv Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 yea for some reason Domino likes to only put 1/4-1/2 of their actual stock on their site and give to rest to euro distros so look out for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freverend Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'll trade you the amount of money you paid plus shipping... or did you buy it just to try to lure someone into sending you something rare? I ordered in 2 two places to make sure i get at least one...but I don't wanna lure you. And not sell to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
