American Ghetto is the fifth studio album by the U.S indie rock band Portugal. The Man, released in March 2010 to coincide with the band's North American tour.[6] The CD version is limited to 15,000 copies.[7]
American Ghetto was created in just 10 days.[8] The album cover features a picture of lead singer John Gourley's dad's barn, coinciding with the hometown theme of the album.
