The glacial pace of Portishead’s third album appearsto be moving a bit quicker. Group member Geoff Barrow wrote last week on the group’s Myspace.com page that its new tracks “are in a right mess but sounding like [an] album for the first time in years.” He added, “It [is] nice to think us old gits have a few tunes in us without sounding like coffee table Zero 7 / Moby chill out sh*t!!”
Portishead has not released a studio album since a self-titled 1997 effort. In the time since, vocalist Beth Gibbons released a 2002 collobration with Rustin Man, “Out of Season.”
