New York-based artist Aaron Maine has announced his six studio album as Porches, sharing the news alongside new single "Joker" and North American tour plans.
Shirt is due September 13 through Domino. It follows Maine's last two records, 2021's All Day Gentle Hold ! and 2020's Ricky Music. Press notes describe the new LP as "part angsty fantasy, part confessional melodrama — a rock album that oscillates between reality and make-believe to reflect both the innocence of suburban youth and the frayed reality of adulthood."
Rubbery new single "Joker" follows the first preview of the album, last month's "Rag." The track comes accompanied by a Nick Harwood-directed music video, which you can check out below.
There, you'll also find the full album tracklist and Maine's North American tour itinerary — which includes a single Canadian stop in Vancouver on November 1. Tickets go on sale Friday (May 17) at 10 a.m. local time, and you can get presale access by DMing Porches' Instagram account the codeword "SHIRT."
