Portugal, The Man just released a new track available for download. The track is titled ‘The Dead Dog’ and is off their soon-to-be released album American Ghetto – set for release on March 5, 2010. You can download the track here or by submitting your e-mail below.
“The Dead Dog” was a bar out towards Big Lake off Pittman Road where, no offense Pittman ralliers, some pretty shady folks spent their time. I don’t know what it was about that area that drew me in but it did, for whatever reason. As with all the songs on American Ghetto there is a focus on our teenage lives and the things we did and the paths we chose. Some of the moments are sadder than others but “The Dead Dog” was written more about the setting than with a specific person in mind.
