Portishead: Third
I finally got around to downloading Portishead’s new album Third this weekend and it’s fastly becoming one of my favorite albums in my library. I must admit, it took a few listens to get into, as Third marks a departure from their previous two albums (what?, no record hiss?), but the new style has really got to me. I’m really digging it. Check out the video below from their Current TV special: Portishead in Portishead.
Edit: Looks like Current took down the video, so here’s the official video for “The Rip”.
Quick YouTube trick: add “&fmt=18″ to the end of the URL while you’re at YouTube and you’ll get a higher res video. This trick works for most YouTube content added in the last 6 months or so, but unfortunately it doesn’t work with their embed code.
