Portugal. The Man

The Alaska-born, Portland-based Portugal. The Man has carved out a unique niche on the pop landscape. Balancing their artfully left of center, neo-psychedelic indie rock with hooky dance, R&B, hip-hop, and electronic traditions. Debuting in 2006, they delivered a series of independent albums throughout the late 2000s, touring hard and eventually signing a deal with Atlantic for 2010’s Billboard 200-charting In the Mountain in the Cold. The band’s diligence paid off during their major-label tenure, with each subsequent album gaining them a wider fan base and increased acclaim.

On 2013’s “Evil Friends,” they forged a collaboration with producer Danger Mouse, who helped out on the group’s politically driven eighth album, 2017’s Woodstock. The album yielded the Grammy-winning hit single “Feel It Still.” Following an extended hiatus, they returned in 2023 with Chris Black Changed My Life. The album dedicated to the group’s friend, filmmaker Chris Black, who died in 2019. “The band was in shambles and this record is the first time I feel I made a complete record; a complete thought about our world crumbling around us and the journey back,”(Spotify).
