Portugal.The Man posted some online updates about their new album, "American Ghetto," which they plan to release March 2.

A note posted today described the band's work process on the new album:

"The whole process of the "American Ghetto" recordings was basically a two week explosion of ideas followed by about 4 months of clean-up and focusing. This gave the songs space and time to breathe a bit before finding their true home in the album and in the finished piece."

They also made a new track, "The Dead Dog" available for free. Like other PTM songs, it has an Alaska connection.

""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."
