Portishead ’Third’ due out April 29
February 18th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
Portishead’s 1994 debut Dummy might be the sexiest album ever made. Seriously. There’s something about Beth Gibbons’ pleading vocals draped in those hypnotic beats that’s, well, sexy. Portishead’s self-titled sophomore release from 1997 is another late-night, trip-hop masterstroke and then there’s the 1998 live album I’ve never heard … and then nothing from Portishead.
Until now.
(OK, blog chatter has been predicting a new album from the British duo-turned-trio for months — my coworker Leilani submitted this Portishead post here at Tampa Calling last May. The first official statement, however, hit my inbox on Friday. The pic is the new album cover.)
From the press release:
Portishead announce the release of Third their hugely anticipated, new album, their fourth album in total and first since 1998’s Roseland NYC Live. Third is to be released on Mercury/Island on April 29th 2008. Portishead will appear on the main stage at Coachella on Saturday April 26, 2008.
Portishead are: Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and Beth Gibbons
