comesleep Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Dig the new song. I think every one of their releases are fantastic in their own rights, the only one I think that is genuinely weak as an album is American Ghetto. I'm loving the production too, Danger Mouse + PTM is sounding like a great combo. Real grimey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited to hear the new song based on what you guys have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachblows Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Heard a few songs off this album the other night. Def a lot faster/dirtier! A few more mellow tracks as well. Won't be out till early summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the soul-vibe on that record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicity Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I must be the only one that likes their last three albums WAAAAYYYYY more than their first three. I think Censored Colors is their worst by far, album bores me to death every time I try to listen to it. At any rate, I'm excited to hear the new album, but based on that new single I think I'll hold off on the preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffsux00 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 i was one of their biggest fans for a while (jumped on the bandwagon as Censored Colors came out). this most recent tour last year was one the most boring, unenthusaistic performances I've ever seen out them. think it was my fifth time seeing them (including three road trips longer than 3 hours). haven't listened to their music since that show. hopefully this new stuff is pretty good. i noticed the same thing on their last tour. keep in mind though, they lost their keyboardist and drummer and had to get fill-ins. i don't think those guys are still part of the band, as Kirk Huffman (fill-in keyboardist) is in Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Wild Orchid Children, etc. so i don't think that unity as a band was there and the enthusiasm on stage definitely suffered. not to mention you could just tell how lacking it was in keys/drums department. that being said, i still love all of their releases and i expect this release to be the same. i'll still go see them when they roll to the Glasshouse in April.

mariawithoneeye Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I've enjoyed everything they have put out. Sad to hear they lost their keyboardist and drummer . Hoping this new album will be good. I like all the effort they've put into everything about their albums. Stoked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I loved American Ghetto, but never fully got into ITMITC - this new track has some potential though. I'm definitely gonna be checking this album out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hipsterasfolk Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 sounds makes me doubt the potential of this album :/ I'll have to listen to it when I make it back to my desk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Up on Amazon for ~$21. http://tinyurl.com/portugalmanevilfriends Which should come down a little as MSRP is $20.98. andrewlucas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Purple, yellow, red, and blue is up on YouTube to listen to. I'm not gonna post a video because YouTube on the VC app makes shit weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Song is awful. They sound just like every other 80's styled hipster band on the market today. Its saddening to me to see this band go to this. I was not digging the last few albums and thought they might turn it around but unfortunately, they're going somewhere that I cannot follow. Just played Church Mouth last night. Now, that's a fucking album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It honestly just sounds like jammier, smoother church mouth. I like it. But I also loved their last three albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's probably a grower. It sounds like this album is gonna be a mix of American ghetto and ITMITC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 That new song is legit I don't think they really compromised their sound at all it's not drenched in keyboards which I like, ie;minus the bear but it just seems too limiting after awhile.

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah, I like this song a lot. It doesn't seem like a drastic shift from their styling at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
