Porntugal is the most "Serrabulho" album from Serrabulho. The Portuguese act returns with its third album in five years, after a huge 109-gig tour across 14 countries promoting the previous record Star Whores [http://tour.blindandloststudios.com].
Now a consolidated and recognized hard-working international act, this time around the band focused on its Portuguese cultural/musical heritage and wrote an intense-yet-exotic album, with multiple layers that result in an ever-more-distinctive effort. Extreme, yet funny, and full of details that make you want to listen to the songs over and over again, Porntugal showcases a band at the top of their game, supported by a powerful production that enriches the first-class writing skills of the four-piece set.
The album contains some of the craziest/funniest/stupidest lyrics out there. Some of them are written in Mirandese (Portugal’s second official language, spoken mainly by elders in the band’s region), while others are in a bizarre French-ish pidgin used by the large swaths of portuguese emigrate workers in France, Belgium and Switerzerland. There are old sayings mixed with the usual nonsense, a lot of traditional folk instruments like bagpipes, and an enhanced brutallity level – all resulting in a powerful, charming and unique listening experience.
The band that consistently shouts that Grind is Love now delivers an album that‘s impossible not to fall in love with.
For fans of Spasm, Gutalax, Jig-Ai, Mr. Bungle, Thunderdome, Gronibard and Lividity
