Listener's Digest: Porches - "Franklin The Flirt"


Don’t be fooled by the song title. Porches isn’t some bubble-gum pop outfit  here to bore you to tears with another homage to the 60’s. But what they do have to offer, as evidenced by their past albums, Scrap And Love Songs Revisited and Je T’aime, is a catalog of excellent songwriting dovetailing perfectly with Aaron Maine’s grunge tinged croon - a combination that will make you come back for more, and more.

Their new single, "Franklin The Flirt", off of Porches' upcoming album, Slow Dance In The Cosmos, which, though a drastic departure from the stripped lo-fi production Porches have come to be known for, still manages to keep their endearing intimate simplicity. Maine’s gruff vocals rise above a swirling rock organ, electric guitar sweeps, and the analog synth interspersed throughout the chorus.

It seems that this could be Porches transition into a more mainstream world of songwriting, instrumentation, and (slightly) less depression. Keep an ear out! Slow Dance In The Cosmos will be released on August 27 and I know I’m ready.
