Pool is the second studio album by New York-based musician Aaron Maine's Porches project.
The albums basic tracking (drums/percussion, guitar and bass) at Business District Engineered by Hunter Davidsohn, finished by Maine in Maine's New York City apartment, and released on February 5, 2016 on Domino Records.
[2] Jeremy Gordon of Pitchfork Media praised the album, stating, "Pool is an introspective record, tailormade for lonesome nights.
It was made in Maine’s apartment, and while the record has a noticeably professional pop sheen, there are still vestigial hints of amateurism (such as the sound of fingers squeaking against the strings on album opener "Underwater") that convince me of its ideal setting.
Anyone who lives in a city knows how easy it is to be pulled between lonely apartments and lonelier dance floors.
