Church Mouth

Portugal. The Man

Gritty blues-rock meets high-register soul. A raw, analog-drenched record defined by heavy grooves, overdriven organs, and restless psychedelic energy.

Find on Amazon

It's like a 70s blues-rock record found a time machine and a really high-pitched singer.

A gritty, soulful restlessness that balances aggressive blues riffs with ethereal vocal melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening drum fill of the title track that sets a frantic, bluesy pace.
The heavy, distorted bass groove on 'Sugar Cinnamon' that feels like a vintage soul record played at the wrong speed.
The haunting, layered vocal harmonies during the bridge of 'Sleeping Sleepers Sleep' that dissolve into a psychedelic haze.
