In honor of Earth Day, our dudes at Portugal. The Man recorded an “Endangered Song” to raise awareness of an endangered species, the Sumatran Tiger. 

There are only 400 Sumatran tigers left in the world because most of their habitat has been eaten up by oil-palm plantations in just two years. 

The band teamed up with the Smithsonian's National Zoo and the Conservation Biology Institute to create a record that will go extinct unless it's reproduced. 

This is our reproduction. We played the vinyl about a dozen times to break in the grooves, each time it was played the sound quality got better. 

From analog to digital.
