Archive Spotlight : Portishead

After a decade long absence, trip-hop pioneers Portishead are back a new album. Appropriately title ‘Third” (it’s their 3rd release, if you don’t count the live album), the disc will be release on April 28th in the UK and the following day in America.

We did an interesting interview with member Geoff Barrow back when the first Portishead album, “Dummy,” was released. Barrow spoke about the creative processes within the band, their interest in film music, and more. The article is available in our archives- check it out here!

For a taste of “Third” you can visit the Portishead myspace page and hear a sample of the track “Machine Gun.” For even more, check out the “Portishead in Portishead” video at current.com. It features performances of 7 songs from the new album.
