Portugal. The Man Oregon City Sessions 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;2008 Live Recording On Double LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Portugal The Man had been a band for just over 2 years and in that period, they had released 3 full-lengths, 1 EP, and a couple standalone singles. In that same period, they had also performed just shy of 500 shows. This young band from Alaska was riding a creative wave that is rarely seen coupled with the most hardcore work ethic. Alaskans are tough and this band was tougher. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Driving from city to city, buying bulk bags of rice and a couple times a week splurging with some items with their Feed The Beat bucks, PTM was committed. They ended tour in December of 2008 and instead of taking a much-needed break made the decision that they needed to record the culmination of what their live performance had become. Finding a rare gem of a studio in the suburbs of Portland, they piled into the studio with all their live gear and a handful of friends with handheld cameras. Longtime collaborator and filmmaker Graham (Baclagon) Agcaolli and engineer/mixer Jacob Portrait (who would later join Unknown Mortal Orchestra) would help to document. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Run the full set, one time through. No re-takes. No overdubs. Just the band in its natural form. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;What next? In typical PTM fashion they were heading into the studio a couple weeks later to record their next album The Satanic Satanist and Oregon City Sessions got put on a shelf. Why release old music when you can release new music. There it sat for over a decade. A select few saw the full film. The band, their manager or tour manager would occasionally offer to go over to people's homes and screen it for them. Sometimes in the parking lot the band would screen a handful of songs to the local supporters. They forged friendships but whenever asked the answer would always be & quot;yeah, we will release that at some point & quot;. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;2021. The band has been off the road for well over a year, by far the longest break from the road since they started and the time just seems right. Here is Oregon City Sessions dug out of the archives. Untouched, unchanged from the day it was finished. It is a time capsule of a band finding its way. A snapshot of young raw talent before they won awards, before they sold millions of records, before they headlined festivals. Just a couple kids from Alaska wanting to travel the world and play music. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/x_Eyrh_duGg & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Church Mouth & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Horse Warming Party & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;New Orleans & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bellies Are Full & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;1989 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Mind / The Home & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lay Me Back Down & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chicago & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;And I & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Devil & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;AKA M80 The Wolf & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Colors & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;March With 6 / Elephants / Sit Back and Dream & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tommy / Helter Skelter & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
