]]>Oregon City Sessions, recorded in 2008, will get a digital release on April 16th. The vinyl and CD versions are coming on June 11th.
Back in 2008, Portugal. the Man were together for just around two years but already had several albums and extended plays out. The group was also actively touring the United States and had almost 500 shows under their belt.
After wrapping up one of their tours, the band decided to make a stop in Portland, Oregon, where they found “a rare gem of a studio” in the city’s suburbs. They settled in and recorded a live set in a single try, forgoing re-takes and overdubs.
The recording session captured Portugal. the Man in its “natural form,” but the band decided to put the tape on a shelf and release it when the time is right.
“The first few years of PTM were whirlwind,” said singer/guitarist John Gourley in a press release. “We didn’t have a place to live, so we were pretty much either recording or touring. We were so wide-eyed coming out of Alaska that every day was an exciting new adventure. I think you can see it in our playing.”
Portugal. the Man had prolific first several years of existence, releasing five albums in under four years. They have been making longer breaks recently, with their last album, Woodstock, being released in 2017.
