Portugal. The Man is an experimental indie rock four-piece centered on frontman John Baldwin Gourley’s abstract musical approach and corresponding upbringing. He was raised in a sort of technological isolation: his log cabin home in the winter wasteland of the fringes of Wasilla, AK was powered by a generator and had no telephone. Both of his parents helped completely immerse him in the unique lifestyle that comes with a land of seasonal darkness and perpetual cold with their jobs as dog sled mushers. Gourley’s innate curiosity and individual spirit combined with a fascination with science fiction and experiences of homelessness create a distinctly transcendent sound that is always open to interpretation and change. The current lineup consists of John Gourley (lead vocals/guitars), Jason Sechrist (drums), Ryan Neighbors (keys/synths/backing vocals), and Zachary Carothers (bass/backing vocals). The members of Portugal. The Man (with the exception of Jason and Ryan, who both grew up in Oregon) were all born and raised in Alaska. This is "Guns and Dogs" off of their fourth release entitled The Satanic Satanist.
