Porches–the music-making moniker of Aaron Maine—has announced his next album, Ricky Music. The follow-up to 2018’s The House arrives March 13 via Domino. Today, Porches has shared a new song called “Do U Wanna,” along with an accompanying music video directed by frequent collaborator Nick Harwood. Find the visual, along with a statement from Aaron Maine, below.
In another statement, Maine said, “‘Do U Wanna’ is a song about looking at yourself and realizing the disparity between how you’d like to act and how you actually act.” He added, “The fun you vs. the isolated you. I feel like with the refrain I’m almost taunting myself to get up and do something.”

Aaron Maine:
My new album, Ricky Music, was written and recorded between Dec.
2017 and the spring of 2019. Mostly in New York at my apartment, but
some of it in Chicago, Los Angeles, and various cities while touring
around Europe. This record is an account of the beauty, confusion,
anger, joy and sadness I experienced during that time. I think I was
as lost as I was madly in love. In these songs I hear myself
sometimes desperate for clarity, and other times, having enough
perspective to laugh at myself in some of my darkest moments. That’s
sort of what this album is about, I hope you enjoy it.
