I Almost Don't Belive It



Well, it looks as if it's really happening this time: I just found out that Portishead is emerging from the depths with their (repeatedly) promised third album. While I won't say it about every band with the power to instantaneously take me back to my dorm-room years, I will say I'm excited to see what Portishead has up their sleeve. Afterall, I still listen to Dummy every now and again. But, 11 years is a long time: just look at poor Axl.

I remember listening over and over again to Dummy, trying to like it I suppose.

and listening over and over again to the 2nd LP, trying to get to know it I suppose.

and in retrospect ... I don't think I like either of them, or ever did in truth.

I hope this new LP is a pure jangly pop record that sounds somewhere between The Railway Children, The Sundays and The Foxgloves. Then there might be a chance I'd finally really actually like a Portishead record.
