Portishead Gear Up for Fourth Album

Portishead After waiting 11 years for Portishead's Third, fans won't have to wait long for album number four. Guitarist Adrian Utley told BBC 6Music that the band will forgo further touring in support of Third to concentrate on a fourth full-length. (via NME)
"We are thinking a new album," Utley said "That’s partly why we're not touring enormously, because in 1998 we toured for a year and a bit and it just crashed us. None of us wanted to see each other for a while after that.

"We got together the other night discussing stuff and getting a bit of a plan together. We’re all gonna be doing stuff. We've finished our touring for this album for this year because of things that we want to do."

Staff picked track of the day

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Featured Review

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation  [READ REVIEW]
