Portugal. The Man - Censored Colors

I couldn't tell you much about this band other than that they got their start a few years ago playing watered-down prog-rock and (as a guess) not doing so well in record sales. But then, 2008 saw the release of their third album Censored Colors. The album, while retaining a good amount of their prog-rock roots, is based quite a bit in folk, like some progressive version of Fleet Foxes. Strange as it may sound, Censored Colors is not only the band's best effort, but an incredibly solid album.
