Description
A clipped guitar scrape in Cowboys cuts across the turntable grit, a small gesture that tells you how stark this record really is. Portishead - Portishead tightens the screws on their debut’s mood, trading glow for a colder, cinematic edge. All Mine swells with brazen brass and a dragging beat, while Beth Gibbons hangs each note like it might crack. Only You sinks into sub-bass and tiled-room reverb, pure tension without release. Spreading the album over 2LP gives everything room to breathe and the low end sits deeper, turning murk into intention. Geoff Barrow’s cracked breaks and Adrian Utley’s detuned guitar frame Gibbons with surgeon’s precision, scratches used as punctuation rather than retro flair. It sits comfortably beside Massive Attack’s late-90s brood, yet feels harsher and more claustrophobic. If you’d rather order from home, you can buy Portishead records online with us. Late nights, small gatherings, headphones on the tram; this pressing rewards quiet volume as much as a proper system. Unsettled yet singular, this remains a modern classic. Keep it next to Dummy for a colder counterpoint on the shelf.
Available online now or in our Melbourne shop, an easy pick for any Portishead fan.
