Current TV has a great little conversation with Geoff Barrows and Adrian Uttley of Portishead. The notoriously press shy Beth Gibbons is of course no where to be found.
The trio are scheduled to perform a broadcast concert ala Radiohead on Apr 11 in preparation for their new album, Third, to be released on 4/28.
The UK Guardian has an exclusive interview with Geoff Barrow and ADrian Uttley about the new Portishead album. In it the writer proclaims:
“It features a run of five or six songs which are not just worthy of the records this band were making 10 or even 14 years ago, but feel like the sonic destination which they were always meant to arrive at.”
Portishead’s Geoff Barrow has taken to the band’s MySpace blog to clarify some comments made on a radio show regarding the recording of a new album in 2009: it probably won’t happen next year… or maybe it will.
Barrow,
Rumors of a third Portishead album have circulated on and off years. (It's been an entire decade this their last proper album.) Last year two new tracks showed up on the trip hop pioneer's MySpace page and those rumors heated up again.
Now they're sure to be read hot after bandleader Geoff Barrow was joined by singer Beth Gibbons and guitarist Adrian Utley for two songs in a surprise appearance in Bristol last week. They performed one as yet unnamed new song and the much loved “Wandering Star.”
