Portugal. The Man Covers "Steal My Sunshine" Ahead Of Tour With alt-J [Audio/Video]

Portugal. The Man threw it back to the 90s with covers of “Steal My Sunshine” by LEN and “Novocaine For The Soul” by Eden. These tracks come on the heels of the band’s announcement of a co-headlining 2022 tour with alt-J, who have also released a new, original single.

For the throwback covers, Portugal. The Man recruited Cherry Glazer (“Steal My Sunshine”) and Sir Chloe (“Novocaine”), who will both provide opening support on the coming 2022 tour with alt-J. The North American tour will begin on February 25th in Pittsburgh and run through April 17th when it ends in Toronto.

The run of shows stops in major markets including Nashville (3/1), Atlanta (3/2), the Texas trifecta of Dallas, Austin, and Houston (3/9, 3/12/, 3/13), Detroit (3/16), Denver (3/23), California dates in San Diego, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Francisco (3/25, 3/26, 3/27, 4/1), and many more.

Meanwhile, alt-J has broken its studio silence with “U&ME”, the British art-school, indie-rock outfit’s first new music since 2017’s Relaxer. In opposition to its last, chilled-out studio product, “U&ME” sees a return to the indie-psych, guitar-driven sounds that brought alt-J to prominence with 2012’s An Awesome Wave. The single will appear on the band’s forthcoming new album, The Dream, out on February 11th.

“It’s quite simply a song about good times in the summer sun – too good perhaps,” the band wrote on social media.
