Third - The appropriately titled new record from Portishead is due out at the end of this month, April 28th, and I am extremely excited. It’s been 10 years since we’ve heard from the British trip-hop trio, and if you love your psychedelic electronica then this album is certainly going to cure those seedy Sunday hangovers. The track ‘Machine Gun’ is reminiscent of the Nine Inch Nails sound layered with huge industrial drum samples which are then joined by Beth Gibbons ghostly cry and eerie synths that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Jean Michel Jarre record.
Definitely make sure to purchase this record once it’s available, Portishead never disappoint when it comes to transporting our senses to another universe.
Very very nice.
“Magic doors” is surely why portishead waited for 10 years, darker than ever…
it sounds like bjork but I can’t remember which track…
Took a minute to warm up to this album. Experimental sound compared too the first two albums (not that we should compare and expect). Good stuff, though. Been waiting a couple years for this.
Beth somehow manages to sound a little like the singer from ‘Yes’…not really my cup of PG - but combined with the random head-f@#k beats…I guess ‘props’ are due for doin summink a little different.
