I Heart Portugal. The Man
Portugal. The Man‘s newest full-length, Censored Colors, sees the band yet again produce an outstanding album that is completely different than any of their previous work. Where they delved into a bluesy direction on last year’s Church Mouth, this time they decided to make a completely old school rock ‘n’ roll record. There was something about the conservative direction they embarked on with Church Mouth that put me off, but Censored Colors is a much more fascinating throwback approach. It reminds me a lot of Akron/Family‘s record from last year. Portugal. The Man rips across style after stolen style, and while I’m not usually into such backward looking stuff, they just pull it off so stunningly. Their ability to be slippery and just sound like any artists they feel like while retaining their core, characteristic sound at the same time is unmatched. Check them out:
