Portugal. The Man - Church Mouth

Portugal. The Man is an American indie four-piece from Wasilla, Alaska. It consists of former members of the band Anatomy of a Ghost. The group is no longer signed to Fearless Records.
Musically, Portugal. The Man's style is one of variation. Their style is both rooted in the indie and experimental genre, but their songs also contain elements of soul, blues, and folk music. At times, the band chooses to utilize drum machines and/or synth loops to anchor their songs, while at other times, the band chooses to use the more conventional guitar, bass, and acoustic drum configuration that is characteristic of rock music. The band also utilizes the keyboard in much of its music. In addition to their instrumentals, Gourley's distinctly higher-pitched vocals add to Portugal. The Man's unique sound. Lyrically, Gourley provides the band with abstract and/or enigmatic lyrics that rely heavily on imagery. Gourley's verses are usually delivered in the first person singular or plural.

Wiki gave a beautiful description of the band, can't realy add more to it.
I love the album! Especially the vocal and instrumental music floating into each other. The bass/drum is very nice! still quite simpel though, but it accompanies the guitar so marvelous. Together, they're overwhelmed by the unique vocals.
