- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Upon digging deep into Censored Colors, youÆre sure to discover songs that
balance epic songwriting with naked testimonials directly from the soul.
There are melodies that will delightfully come back to haunt you long after
youÆre done listening as evidenced by such standout tracks as ôLay Me Back
Down,ö ôColors,ö and ôOut and In and In and Out,ö among other glittering
gems. And while Gourley certainly specializes in esoteric-like lyrics, there
are a few exceptions to the rule, as illustrated by another one of the
albumÆs highlights, the epic ô1989,ö in which the singer touches upon the
effect the Persian Gulf War had on his life. PORTUGAL. THE MAN is long adept
at using guerilla tactics to push modern technology to its limits and
encourages copious amounts of interaction with their fans ù fans are given
access to Pro Tools stems, raw video footage, original Illustrator artwork
files, and so on. Contrary to industry think, PORTUGAL. THE MAN releases new
music as often as possible, they tour as often as possible, and, at least for
right now, theyÆre more interested in making a living and in developing a
strong connection with their fans than they are in making money. So, the
countdown has begun until they premiere the new tunes on a concert stage, as
they will be embarking on a tour with RX BANDITS this summer before
headlining a European trek, and then returning for a U.S. Fall headline
jaunt.
