From my first time hearing the record, a bit before the major reviews began funneling out, I knew that this would be an album that critics would devour. And why not, it obviously has avant garde leanings, it's haunting, seems profound, is quite atypical, and unlikely to be well received by the common man. This is usually good for a rating into the 9s from Pitchfork. I would have expected a reso...

A clarion call for the trip hop movement, the 1994 release of Portishead's Dummy put Bristol, England on the musical map. Sinister, moody soundscapes like "Glory Box" were tailor-made for spy movies, but too good to be Bond themes.The tune cops the descending bassline and weepy strings from Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Rap II", and adds an insistent snare and vinyl scratches, striking a phenomenal, atmo...

Beth Gibbons sounds as miserable as ever and the content of her lyrics...like Gibbons, herself...are older and more complex.

It's been almost 11 years since Portishead released their last self-titled album (I'm not counting Roseland NYC Live). The three member group of Adrian Utley, Geoff Barrow and more prominent Beth Gibbons have been often credited with making the trip hop genre more mainstream. Originating out of Bristol, UK, Portishead introduced their hometown sound to the commercial radio waves in 1994 with Du...

Well this is a little impromptu... but as things have been going lately I'll be coming BACK to finish this post a little later. Right now Hype Machine wants my URL :) I initially wrote that I wasn't pleased with music this year. Then I realized I was just in a god awful mood and remembered the boat loads of albums and singles that I loved this year! Suddenly there were more and more albums ...

This feature appears in Wireless Bollinger . It begins as if it never ended. A vocal sample crackles, cryptic as ever, as a man speaks in Portuguese: "Beware of the rule of three. What you give will get back at you. This lesson you must learn. You only get what you deserve." So begins Portishead's Third , released a decade after the band's last record. And although it starts with a prophe...

Portishead have succeeded! When you thought they couldn’t become any more dour than they were on their two previous albums, along comes their comeback, Third. It seems they have been listening to Nine Inch Nails and industrial rock which shows up as a harder edge in their new songs. But there is no question: this album is truly great.Portishead — multi-instrumentalist/producer Geoff Barrow,

.Some ten years after their last formal release, trip-hop pioneers Portishead are releasing their fourth album, cleverly named Third, on April 14.Its hard to explain just how BIG Portishead's Dummy was back in 94/5 in the UK. It seemed that almost every track from their début album was used on almost every TV trailer, and still people couldn't get enough....

Those of you that were on here at this time last year remember all the talk of MOGachella, how so many of us would congregate there. A lot of you did. I, however, did a lot of talking but ultimately did not deliver the goods.Not this year.I'm not missing this kind of goodness this year, no ma'am.The passes have been purchased, lodging has been arranged, flight options have been perused and will...
