Long drives through the state of Montana have afforded me the chance to catch up on a long list of new releases. During the four hours from Missoula to Yellowstone National Park I spun through the new one from Portugal. The Man, The Satanic Satanist. The band recently sold out its performance at the now defunct Cafe Montmartre in Madison a few months back.

There’s a lot to love within “the multi-layered textures influenced by the sounds of Motown, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, prog-rock and psychedelia” and they’re one of the bands on the top of my list to check out at San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival next month.
