It’s their third full studio album, aptly titled Third, although if you include soundtrack work, the live symphony album, and the bevy of remixes it seems like their catalogue is much bigger than two previous albums. In case you missed the 90’s Portishead has some amazing stuff and this new album is worth a listen if you liked their previous work.
You couldn’t really expect this trio to put together anything you might expect. It is definitely Portishead, but the album is an eclectic mix that spans between their dreamy electronic sound to heavy industrial and trippy orchestral backgrounds.
Beth Gibbons is a vocalist that could sing the alphabet and make it sound eerie and beautiful as far as I’m concerned. Although this album doesn’t hit the heights of their previous stuff it’s pretty good, and you certainly can’t call it vanilla.
