Americana indie rock from Portugal The Man gets a major label record - this is the first single from it!

Alaska’s eclectic indie rockers Portugal The Man has announced the upcoming release of their hugely anticipated Atlantic Records debut; “In The Mountain In The Cloud” is set for release on 10 October. This will be preceded by the first single “Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now)” which will be released on 8th August. “In The Mountain In The Cloud” was produced by John Hill (Santigold, M.I.A.) with co-production from PTM lead singer/guitarist/songwriter John Gourley and longtime band producer Casey Bates, and mixed by Grammy Award winner Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Jeff Buckley).

This album marks the first recording to fully harness the Portland, Oregon-based band’s exhilarating live show. From the dynamic opener “So American” to the sprawling vision of “Sleep Forever,” the album – Portugal. The Man’s sixth overall – captures a truly distinctive band evolving in real time, revealing their singular sonic vision in its purest and most powerful form thus far. Since their formation in 2005, Portugal The Man has captured the attention of the indie scene with their extraordinary amalgamation of electronic beats, complex melodies, and atmospheric post-rock soundscapes.

Heralded by The Guardian as a “superb addition to the canon of latterday cosmic Americana” and by NME “the nomadic collective possess more soul than anyone”. Formed in Wasilla, Alaska by lead singer/guitarist/songwriter John Gourley before migrating south to the Pacific Northwest, the band proved as prolific as they were eclectic, releasing an album each year since their 2006 debut, “Waiter: ‘You Vultures!’”
