It looks like we might only have to wait until next year for a new Portishead album. That's a extra speedy turn around for Portishead, who spent three years making their second album, and made us wait a whole ten years for the aptly titled "Third" which came out in 2008. A new track has been donated to Amnesty International which you'll find below.
I don't want to spoil the song for you before you take a listen so just check it out. Sounds like familiar territory for Beth Gibbons et al and she doesn't look too happy in the video which is normal for this lot. I'd be interested to know what you think she's singing about.
not particularly spectacular on first listen. more on that at another time. where did you hear they'll put a new album out next year?
ReplyDeleteIt was on the radio, then I also saw it on their Wikipedia entry.
ReplyDeleteis it just me or does beth gibbons make anyone else think of amy goodman? maybe its the hair. that'd be funny if goodman sang a portishead song.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I knew who the hell Amy Goodman was...
ReplyDeletewho the hell are you?
