Above all, the music Aaron Maine creates as the principal songwriter of Porches. sounds dirty. Not in an exploitative way, and not because he tags it on Soundcloud as both "booty clap" and "sad pop." But more in the sense that the characters in his songs sound like they haven't showered yet today-- either because they're hungover, depressed or simply forgot to pay their water bill. "Franklin The Flirt" is the first single from the Brooklyn quintet's upcoming LP Slow Dance in the Cosmos (out August 27 via Exploding in Sound) and it sounds cleaner than Maine's 2011 work Scrap and Love Songs Revisited, yet it retains that same unwholesome rankness. The pawn shop keyboards and drum machines recall the early experimental folk-pop of Sparklehorse, while Maine's rugged vocals reach towards a Molina/Kozelek heartland longing even when situated in New York ("All the beauty kids in the ugly parts of town/And in the good parts, we get ugly and then lie down"). It's total tears-in-your-beer stuff, but when its rumpled stagger gives way to a surprisingly warm chorus, it's time to order another round.
