Thanks for checking out these three brand new songs by Portugal. The Man, from their upcoming album, The Satanic Satanist, due out July 21.

We think you'll find that you can't categorize the music of Portugal. The Man with just one word. The band's music is impacted by Motown, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, prog-rock, psychedelia, and then some, but no matter what the influences, it's all "Portugese."

Alternative Press, a long-time champion of Portugal. The Man, included the band's last album, Censored Colors, on its list of "10 Essential Albums of 2008," and named front man John Baldwin Gourley 2008's "Best Vocalist." There's just got to be something special going on with this still-widely-undiscovered gem of a band that has received the pretty darned impressive media accolades that it has...

• "...one of the truly great bands of this generation."
  ~ Alternative Press
• "Colors sounds like John Lennon's ballads refracted through the dark haze of Pink Floyd's space suites. It's a real trip of a thing."
  ~ New York Daily News
• "Panoramic guitar crashes and vocal sighs tie them to like-minded acts such as Minus the Bear, and hits of cabaret-piano may recall Spoon and Cold War Kids."
  ~ Spin.com
• "Portugal. The Man is one of the most unique and original groups of current time."
  ~ AbsolutePunk.net
• "...full of esoteric imagery."
  ~ Boston Phoenix
• "...it thumps and grinds like an all night whorehouse, rattling the roof with rambunctious drums, tumultuous screams, with a voluptuous clobber of distinct noise so orgasmic that even deaf porno actors take notice."
  ~ The Tripwire
• "Portugal. The Man has stretched innovation to a new level of imagination."
  ~ Outburn
