Portugal. The Man..... but not from Europe.


I'll be honest, I hadn't really heard of Portugal. The Man before the Camp lineup came out--but that's what is so great about this music festival! I've discovered some of my favorite artists at Camp, so it's awesome that they bring on a good variety of sounds. Anyway, I'm so excited to see their performance and I am already so blown away by their music. Camp posted a link to the band's Soundcloud for their Etta James cover (no it's not about have a good feeling for the 5 millionth time), and I found myself listening to it about 10 times straight.

Their original stuff is awesome, too, of course, though some of the music videos are sort of gruesome... But I guess that's kind of bad ass. This new album, In the Mountain in the Cloud, is phenomenal and a couple of the tracks that I really like are featured below. This first one is like, the ultimate independence song or something. I don't know, but the stop animation in the video is legit, so check it out!



I also read an interview with the drummer, Jason Sechrist, that All Your Light is his "favorite song we have... That’s going to be a fun live song!" (Oh yeah, can't wait for that!)

Now I'm having a hard time picking what else to feature here, because I really like all of it and I want you to just sit down and give the whole YouTube channel a listen. Because they have every song on there with album, acoustic, and live versions for you to enjoy. It literally took me two days to write this post because I'd spend hours clicking through all their videos...

So go to their site, follow them on Facebook and Twitter, and definitely check them out and get even more pumped for their appearance at Camp this summer!
