Portugal. The Man

Blue · 03-22-2009, 02:18 AM

I just listened to Censored Colours today, and I honestly really loved it quite a lot. Listening to some of it, like Colours, 1989 and All Mine was really incredible for me; I thoroughly enjoyed each one of those. I love the reverberation of the whole album really, it has a very cool sound to it.

I'm actually kind of surprised most didn't seem to like it (assuming Censored Colours is the new one), because I really enjoyed it. Any thoughts on what you all didn't like about it?

Just got around to listening to this band a few days ago and I must say I dig.
Their acoustic, for-funzies songs are IMO their best

And they all have killer 'chops

I'm checking out Church Mouth for the first time in about a year and I forgot how solid they are. I seriously need to hear some of their other releases.

From the aforementioned album:

It seems that not many people know about this band which is strange cause they are great. Tell me what you know!

I love them. Waiter and Its complicated are by far my favorite albums.

I keep forgetting how good these chaps are, and realising that I need to listen to them more whenever I give Church Mouth a spin.
I also have The Satanic Satanist, but I'm not that familiar with it yet. Seemed good enough.

This is one of my favorites off Waiter. 'Bad, Bad, Levi Brown.'

Just saw these guys live tonight, and I was very impressed! I've known of them since their debut album but was never really that intrigued by what I heard. I mean sure, all signs point to them being a band I should enjoy. But I think it might have been the vocals I was turned off by. Anyway, a friend asked me just yesterday if I'd be interested in going to the show, so I decided to sample a few of their more recent albums. I'm talking just 30-second clips here. And I was surprised to see how many albums they've put out since the debut in 2006. So the more recent stuff seemed more appealing to me, and I downloaded an album. Long story short, I didn't get a chance to listen to it today but decided to go to the show anyway. From the first song I was pretty much hooked. I think what helped is that the vocals were a little low in the mix at the live show, and I was able to focus on the instrumentation which I really liked. It's really right up my alley, a good mix of post-hardcore, indie, a bit of math, a bit of 70s metal grooves, and some soul. I'm looking forward to checking out their albums now, great show.
