In more “leaked” album news, it appears that the new and HIGHLY anticipated Portishead record has leaked to the great internets. While I won’t be posting the entire album for you to listen to I will at least post the lead single Machine Gun which you can listen to on the left hand side of this page.
Overall the album is very good but I haven’t had a chance to really allow it to sink in yet. It’s very dark and has a very ambient quality to it while the DJ aspects of Portishead seem to be conspicuously absent. Looks like you lovely netizens are probably listening to a pre-mastered copy that could change significantly before the final version arrives in April.
Also, if you like what you hear you can purchase the track in the Portishead Shoppe (extra “pe” because they’re brits) where you can also check out the deluxe and more-than-slightly Radiohead inspired box set. It includes a 2xLPversion of the full length, a print, a P-shaped USB stick with some videos, and a single sided single for Machine Gun with an etched b-side. It looks something like this:
I guess that’s really about all I could say about this. It’s a big day for Portishead fans who have been waiting a LONG time for this album to surface. HOORAY!
