Portugal. The Man – American Ghetto (2010)

Portugal. The Man is one of the most hard working bands right now. Don’t believe me? Look at their back catalog, they release a stellar album every year and tour like nomads. The kind of hard work can be rewarding for the listener and certainly is with their fifth studio album, American Ghetto. Those signature drum loops and neo-soul beach sound is back from last year’s Satanic Satanist, but more prevalent and noticeable. It’s almost like they took a poll of what people loved the most about their last few albums and created American Ghetto. A bit of tease for those of you wishing for warmer weather, but once it comes, this will be playing in your car stereo non-stop. Highly recommended.
