New songs by Limbeck and Portugal the Man
Two of my newer favorite bands, Limbeck and Portugal the Man, have recently posted new songs from upcoming releases.
Limbeck has a brand new album coming out on April 10th, their 3rd for Doghouse Records. I have been lucky enough to have received a copy from the band when they were in Colorado for a few shows. I have been a longtime fan, but I think that this newest album could be their best. It is a little less country with a Shins/Ben Kweller vibe. “Big Drag” is a good example of what you can expect on the new album and with luck, this album will get the band the attention they deserve. We are also luckily putting out their new album on vinyl and should have copies in stock before the CD’s street date. Damn I love this band.
Portugal the Man have a new EP coming out on Reincarnate Music. Does anyone know anything about this label? I was surprised to see a label other than Fearless putting this out. The track, “Ruby Magic” picks up where their album “Waiter, You Vultures” left off. It seems like Portugal are working super hard and always seem to be touring. I really like their album and this new track seems just as great. It is hard to compare Portugal to other bands, but I think of a less frantic Mars Volta and maybe a dash of Portishead/Tricky.
I highly recommend checking out both tracks as both bands are doing some amazing stuff.

Portugal The Man is actually releasing the record on their own label called Approaching Airballoons. Reincarnate Music is just the company that will help them distribute it. Fearless allowed PTM to self-release this EP. The next full-length due out in July will be on fearless
