“Over the past few years, I developed a jaw problem where I was in constant pain and could barely eat. I was not sure I would ever sing again – so when we started ‘Plastic Island,’ I was still recovering, and you can hear that I was basically singing through my teeth, because my jaw couldn’t handle it.”

New York, NY – (June 9, 2023) Multi-platinum, GRAMMY ® Award-winning rock band Portugal. The Man release “Plastic Island,” the latest song to be unveiled off their long-awaited new album, CHRIS BLACK CHANGED MY LIFE.
“Over the past few years, I developed a jaw problem where I was in constant pain and could barely eat. I was not sure I would ever sing again – so when we started ‘Plastic Island,’ I was still recovering, and you can hear that I was basically singing through my teeth, because my jaw couldn’t handle it.”
“Plastic Island” is the latest offering from the acclaimed band’s upcoming, studio album CHRIS BLACK CHANGED MY LIFE, due out June 23. The album is produced by the legendary Jeff Bhasker (Beyonce, Harry Styles, SZA, Mark Ronson) and is available for pre-order HERE.
The band made their triumphant return in early March with the infectious lead single, “Dummy,” which just hit Top 5 at Alternative Radio, after spending 13 weeks on the format thus far, and was immediately praised by Billboard as an “an apocalyptic jingle” upon release. “Dummy” arrived with an official music video directed by Noel Paul and starred the band’s new, honorary member, Tank Dog. Created by Wes Hubbard (Wooden Cyclops) and John Gourley, Tank Dog is PTM’s newest sidekick – Watch HERE.
Following the release of “Dummy,” the band shared “Summer of Luv” featuring Unknown Mortal Orchestra, “Thunderdome [W.T.A]” featuring Black Thought and Natalia Lafourcade, and “Champ,” which incorporated a re-imagining of GRAMMY ® Award-winning musician Edgar Winter’s 1971 hit, “Dying to Live.”
CHRIS BLACK CHANGED MY LIFE is the band’s first full-length since the release of their Platinum-certified, 2017 record, WOODSTOCK. Opening song, “Heavy Games II (feat. Jeff Bhasker),” teased the forthcoming album with a companion visual featuring and produced by Jeff Bhasker – Watch HERE. The album’s title is dedicated to the band’s late friend and honorary band member, Chris Black.
The band teamed up with collaborators Paul Williams (John Lennon, David Bowie, Mac Miller), Jeff Bhasker (Beyonce, Harry Styles, SZA, Mark Ronson), Asa Taccone, Black Thought, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Nick Reinhart, Homer Steinweiss and Natalia Lafourcade on the highly anticipated album.
The Portland-based rockers will follow the release of CHRIS BLACK CHANGED MY LIFE with a limited run of headline shows for 2023. Featuring a career spanning set, each show will take place at an iconic venue this summer, including Portland’s Edgefield, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl.
