(CBS News) As the fighting in the Syrian civil war that has claimed an estimated 16,000 victims moves to Damascus – the capital and home to President Bashar al-Assad – the conflict has become more sustained and widespread. Additionally, the intelligence reports that the Assad government appeared to be moving chemical weapons from storage facilities has raised alarm signals in Washington and in Syria’s neighbors. Hopeful that the efforts at the U.N. might bear fruit, four members of the Syrian National Council and an advisor met with reporters this week to dispel some of the information about their intentions and to convey their hope that the international community would send a message to the Assad government.

Then there are the layers of keyboards, vocals and guitars that seem designed to fill the listener’s head with as many individual, overlapping sounds as possible. The arrangements are deft and never weighed down despite a liberal use of instruments and voices; John Gourley’s high tenor is a hallmark of the group. On “Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now),” different sounds the band has used in each of its recordings seem to coalesce in one song: soaring background vocals, layers of guitars, strings, manufactured beats combined with live drums and a bass that’s sometimes meaty and sometimes nimble. “In the Mountain in the Cloud,” Portugal. The Man’s sixth album in six years, comes out next week. You can catch them...
