STREAM New Geoff Barrow of Portishead Music (MP3)

Portishead’s Geoff Barrow has some new tunes for us to hear. And while none of it is fresh music from his most famous band, the producer/DJ/drummer is offering up selections from his groups DROKK and BEAK> as part of a sample for his Invada record label. The two DROKK songs, “Exhale” and “Justice One,” are basically dark ambient piecesrecorded with Ben Sailsbury that were inspired by “Mega City One” (comic geek alert).

Other standouts on the compilation include Barrow’s remix of the rocking “The Haunting” by Scarlet Rascal & Train Wreck and Anika’s cover of Chromatic’s “In The City.” Check out the full 11-song sampler after the jump.
