Portugal. The Man (yes, there is supposed to be a period in the name) have released the perfect summer album here. Yet, instead of releasing it on the cusp on the season (ie., May or even June), their latest comes at the tail end of July. This little album is ideal for a summer listening session. Channeling their R & B ghosts, the buddies of PTM infuse falsetto vocals, catchy rhythms, and down the earth lyrics to Satanic Satanist (a very odd title considering the album's flow). This short album borrows heavily from a "laidback" style that is old school R & B. Along the way, the more experimental aspects of PTM make appearances as there are odd little psychedelic-inspired jams and a little doo-wop-esque oohs and ahhs. Although not going to leave any kind of lasting impression, it will keep you in a good mood during the album's 30ish minutes. So throw it on and enjoy the waning days of summer.
3.5/5.0
