Porches announces his sixth studio album, Shirt

Shirt is 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. The album plays with the tension between one's person and persona – the weight of your dreams crashing up against your reality.

Porches also announces a fall North American tour, which kicks off in October and includes Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre on 7 November and closes with a hometown show at Brooklyn Steel on 20 November. The North American tour follows Porches’ previously announced UK/European tour, which includes a date at London’s Heaven on 2 October.
