New Portishead Album
Really looking forward to this. the new Portishead Album (named 'Third' ) is being released on 28th April. Its nearly 11 years since the last studio Album was released so will it be any good? Well I heard them playing at the ATP festival in Minehead at the end of last year and they were excellent. Easily the highlight of the weekend for me. They played a few tracks from the new album and they sounded as good as their old stuff. The familliar vocals of Beth sounded as sharp and haunting as ever backed up by a sound that, though obviously portishead, was grungier, harder and faster than much of the last album stuff. Hopefully worth the wait.
