Porches most recent single “Rag” is a song that sets expectations and flips them: it begins as an acoustic bounce along the road that quickly spirals into the raw and bratty energy of a band playing their first party. “Rag” follows Porches’ last album All Day Gentle Hold !, which was released in 2021 and garnered some of the best reviews of Maine’s career - the record was hailed as “some of his most succinct and enjoyable songwriting to date” (Pitchfork) and “the most refined iteration of his craft thus far: a burst of pure, energetic feeling” (Nylon).
Porches’ ensuing headlining tour sold out venues across North America, and the band then opened a US tour for Phoenix that included shows at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Phoenix’s Thomas Mars later handpicked the Porches fan favorite track “Country” to include in Sofia Coppola’s 2023 film Priscilla.
