Our Take

Ah, Portishead. The pioneers of trip-hop are back with their third studio album aptly titled, well, "Third." And let me tell you, it's one hell of a ride.

The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "Silence," setting the tone for what's to come. Beth Gibbons' mesmerizing vocals float effortlessly over Adrian Utley's moody guitar riffs and Geoff Barrow's innovative production.

Tracks like "Machine Gun" and "Magic Doors" showcase the band's willingness to experiment with new sounds and textures, creating an atmosphere that is both chilling and captivating.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Third." Songs like "The Rip" and "We Carry On" bring a sense of hope and resilience, proving that Portishead can still tug at our heartstrings even after all these years.

Overall, "Third" is a bold and ambitious album that solidifies Portishead's status as one of the most influential bands of our time. It's a sonic journey that will leave you feeling both shaken and stirred, in the best possible way. Trust me, this is one album you don't want to miss out on. Cheers to Portishead for continuing to push the boundaries of what music can be.

About the artist

Portishead

PORTISHEAD, the iconic trip-hop trio from Bristol, UK, burst onto the music scene in the early 1990s with their groundbreaking debut album Dummy. Lead vocalist Beth Gibbons's haunting vocals combined with Geoff Barrow's innovative production techniques created a sound that was truly ahead of its time. Their music is like a fine wine, getting better with age. Each album released by PORTISHEAD is like a musical journey through the minds of a group of artists who are unafraid to push boundaries and experiment with different sounds. From the dreamy melodies of "Sour Times" to the raw emotion of "Wandering Star," PORTISHEAD's music never fails to captivate and inspire. One listen to their dark, brooding tracks and you'll be transported to a world where heartbreak and longing reign supreme. It's the kind of music that makes you want to pour yourself a glass of red wine, light some candles, and ponder the complexities of the human experience. But don't let their melancholic sound fool you - PORTISHEAD are also known for their high-energy live performances. Beth Gibbons's powerful vocals paired with Geoff Barrow's infectious beats make for a truly unforgettable concert experience. In a world where mediocrity reigns supreme, PORTISHEAD stands out as a shining beacon of innovation and creativity. They are the type of band that reminds us why we fell in love with music in the first place. So sit back, relax, and let PORTISHEAD take you on a journey through their twisted, beautiful minds.
