An excellent article on Portishead, well worth a read for anyone excited about the new album...

Anyone get a hold of those live bootlegs from the ATP they curated?

new album, eh? groovy.

 

[Night Mare]

Due out on April 28th. Very groovy.

Here's the cover:

already all over the internets, but low quality I've read. Won't do it justice so I'll pass.

The reviews are mixed, but that's to be expected from a long-awaited album from a classic band. The expectations build so high.

Yeah, think I am going to preorder it and listen to it properly, as tempting as the leak may be.

So far, Ive heard the first few songs. It;s very different. i wouldnt even call it trip-hop really anymore..so far. Cant hold a candle to DUMMY....but we shall see through time.

yes, its still very much trip-hop....for the most part. very different but definitely a big grower.

I take it you're listening to a leak version?
Machine Gun is... perplexing. It's growing though.

Gonna wait for the proper release. Ahh, how long have I waited for them to continue!

fucking classy album. The only track I don't really care for is "Deep Water"...sounds like some fucking indie hipster bullshit. but the rest of the album is pretty solid it seems

Album of the Year so far, imo.
