In the Mountain in the Cloud, the sixth studio album from Portugal. The Man, came out on July 19, 2011, and it's the Alaska-born, Portland-based band's major-label debut on Atlantic. They spent eight months on it, with John Hill, Casey Bates and frontman John Gourley sharing the production credit, and the extra time shows: this is psychedelic rock with the corners sanded and the ceilings raised.
Gourley's melodies float over big, glossy arrangements, while co-founder Zach Carothers keeps the bottom end moving on bass. "Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now)" and "So American" were the singles, both pop songs dressed in kaleidoscope colors. Reviews were warm, and the record charted in the US, Austria, Germany and Switzerland, a stepping stone to Evil Friends and the bigger things that followed.
