Portishead – ‘Third’
Portishead returns from a ten-year hiatus with eleven new tracks that are sure to please long-time fans, and newcomers alike. In the early 1990s, before triphop was even given a name, Portishead was right there in the fray, defining this new genre, amongst the ranks of Massive Attack, Tricky, and others. But Portishead’s take was different still: Unlike many of their contemporaries, they fused jazz, house, and ethereal sounds into their work, broadening their audience appeal. Alternative rockers, electronic ravers, and classic breakbeat enthusiasts all took to their sound. In recent years, the music industry has watched Gnarls Barkley, The Gorillaz, and others follow their lead – and thrive. Released on Universal.
