Listen to What You're Missin': Portugal. The Man, The Raveonettes, Bat For Lashes, and ...

"Listen to What You're Missin'" is a series of posts consisting of four tracks each week, giving you an updated look at new music. This week I explore some of the artists I discovered at San Francisco's Outside Lands, and well, the Raveonettes.


Portugal. The Man: "People Say"

Described as the best band you probably still don't know, Portugal. The Man is a band you should, and soon will know. After receiving high praise from Spin and NME, the band has created quite a buzz for their new album, The Satanic Satanists, from their performance during this years Lollapolooza. Their sound is difficult to describe, and I hate to generalize, but it reminds me of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. Lead singer John Gourley is not only a talented musician, but also an artist (he and his friend Austin designed the album cover).
