"..We Party Portugal isn't exactly elusive in nodding to its key influences. The band's ReverbNation page only has one band listed in the 'Sounds Like' section: Pavement. Not that you'd need to to be told of the legendary band's imprint -- the laconic and meandering (but always tuneful) guitar lines and detached vocals singing obtuse lyrics are all pretty good tells...
"... [T]hese are musicians who have so thoroughly internalized that style of outsider-alternative that it can't help but bubble up. Fans of wry, if low-stakes, indie rock will find something to like across these six songs.
" 'Untrodden Ways,' is the band's most gentle and its most winsome, spinning a tiny, oblique narrative amid some nicely poetic lines. The warm, unfolding production comes care of Joe Eisenbraun... and it's nice to hear his touch again on these recordings. The honking saxophones and cheesy organ fill out the pure-pop 'In the Garden of Eden, Baby,' which works off a twee groove, thanks to bubbly bass and falsetto backing vocals.
"The self-titled EP is also accompanied by the 'Deluxxe' version, featuring four more songs that are at times sillier and more darkly discursive than the proper album. 'We Have a Dracula' is insistent and charming, while 'My Love Is Like a Fire' (which includes the puzzling but era-appropriate rejoinder 'your love is like the Internet') is more dirge-like than the others, though the song's own bizarre internal logic keeps it rooted with the rest."
