Portugal. The Man has been keeping fans on their toes all summer—first with the surprise EP uLu Selects Vol #2, and most recently with the slinky new track “Denali.” Today, the Alaskan-bred, Portland-based band returns with news of their highly anticipated album SHISH, out November 7 via KNIK, the band’s imprint on Thirty Tigers. To mark the announcement, they’re sharing two singles off the album, the soaring “Tanana,” where Gourley’s vocals take center stage, and the frenetic “Mush,” a high-octane preview of the record to come.
On the new tracks, Gourley shares, “‘Mush’ is survival, connection, and ambition. Rural life with moments of danger and absurdity, like dirt bikes, smokers, gunfire, and video games. The repeated line ‘we can be family’ pushes against isolation, reaching for something solid. This is a repeating theme on the record – build a life, support your people, buy land, and grow something lasting. The message is simple: don’t give up, want more, and fight for it. Meanwhile, ‘Tanana’ voices a generational sadness, searching for fleeting meaning in a world on edge.”
SHISH finds Portugal.The Man on the edge of discovery. Earlier this summer, they dropped their surprise EP uLu Selects Vol #2, an unflinching, blisteringly honest collection of sonic exorcisms. Now with SHISH, Portugal. The Man pulls the curtain back further – across its ten distinct tracks, the band leans into discomfort, vulnerability, and the warped pop sensibility that only Portugal. The Man can offer.
Earlier this summer, Portugal. The Man announced their upcoming ‘Denali’ Headline Tour slated for this fall. The tour will kick off on November 6th in Portland and will make stops in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, D.C., and wrap up with a final show in Austin.
