Poster This – BETH GIBBONS Then And Now

Posted on by JL

English singer-songwriter Beth Gibbons came in the picture as the voice/face
of trip-hop outfit Portishead when the band released their debut LP Dummy
in 1994. Two longplayers followed, the self-titled (1997) and the last, so far,
simply titled Third. Then silence, still now.

But last year Beth Gibbons came back, solo, with
her critically acclaimed debut Lives Outgrown.
She’s touring the album right now.

PORTISHEAD Released Innovative Debut Album ‘DUMMY’ 30 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Back in time

22 August 2024


.
Bristol’s PORTISHEAD, one of the pioneers of trip-hop, released their innovative debut album DUMMY on 22 Augustus 1994, 30 years ago today. An experimental piece of work where blues, soul and jazz were drenched into a sort of ambient sci-fi soundscapes transferring you to an otherworldly sonic universe.

NME Magazine wrote at the time: “This is, without question, a sublime debut album. But
so very, very sad. From one angle, its languid slowbeat blues clearly occupy similar terrain to soulmates ‘Massive Attack’ and all of Bristol hip-hop’s extended family. But from another these are avant-garde ambient moonscapes of a ferociously experimental nature.”
