bueno
Waaaaaaaat
>>65856050
What the
You know it's an ABBA cover... Right guys?!
old news
soundtrack for high rise
>>65856111
Still, it's amazing and their first song since 2008. I never thought an ABBA song could sound so good when in trip hop.
>>65856050
Imagine a Portishead album this year, would be like the best year for decades
>>65856050
BETH <333333333333
she knows who you are guys
= perfection
Beth Gibbons and the portisheads :o
brehs
>>65856159
centuries..
>Portishead have shared a cover of ABBA’s 1975 track ‘SOS’ as a dedication to murdered MP Jo Cox.
>The Bristol band shared a new video of their synth-laden version – which was originally recorded for Ben Wheatley’s High Rise film – with a quote from Cox: “We have far more in common than that which divides us.”
I wish they did that without any politics attached
>>65856742
Why do you wish that? This makes it even better.
>>65856780
How exactly it does?
>>65856742
Yeah, why address some psycho killing an innocent woman? Such an eye roller, amirite?
>>65856796
Yeah, let us jump on the bandwagon because we didn't do jack shit for the last eight years! This surely will get us in the media again!
>>65856793
Because it's not just a random ABBA cover now, but rather a well aimed cover.
>>65856793
adds some meaning
>>65856780
B - but I want to listen to Portishead while voting Trump ;'''(
>>65856742
Why?
>>65856793
because art is more than just aesthetics faggot
>>65856742
That's not true, the song was covered for the soundtrack to the movie High-Rise in October 2015, while Cox was still alive.
>>65856818
This cover was and I quote "originally recorded for Ben Wheatley’s High Rise film". How is it well aimed? They are adding the context straight out of their ass with this. I guess for media attention. Now I kinda wish they did that to imply a new release or something.
>>65856830
Yeah, because the lyrics doesn't have that already
>>65856815
It's not like they wouldn't have gotten attention if they had released something else after Third. They're well established and don't need to rely on bandwagoning to get attention. Is it that hard to believe that maybe they think a senseless murder is wrong? You're pathetic.
She's pointing at us...
>>65856868
it's not their own lyrics senpai
>>65856050
Nope. They've butchered it.
>this thread
>>>/pol/
>>65856922
This.
>>65856872
Yeah, it is wrong. However I still think it is a jump session. I'm being overflown with media information about that murder. Yeah, it is bad. Not because we respect something, possibly, in silence, not to raise media attention again. We all fucking know that - random acts of senseless violence is a BAD thing. How much should you get reminded of that? Adding context in this track is at the same level as Basinski hack. Shameless.
>>65856896
I know senpai (>>65856111)
I often wonder why Portishead doesn't get more attention on /mu/.
It fulfills all requirements for being essential /mu/ core.
>>65856922
>>65856932
this cover is literally a million times better than ABBA lol
>>65856941
Isn't "Dummy" sub /mu/core though? Although it's a shame, true.
>>65856946
Nope. Benny and Bjorn are some of the greatest writers/arrangers of the late 20th Century. The original is a pop masterpiece. With this Portishead have stripped out the chord structure and melodic interactions with it, in order to sound 'dark'. I fucking love Portishead, but this is a bad play.
>>65856998
>pop
>masterpiece
>>65857011
Yes. I'm correct.
>>65857011
the point is, there's only so much Beth Gibbon's 'fraught/ dark' dreatment can get you without some musical invention. There isn't much in this. The result is less than the sum of its parts.
>>65856050
SOTY, as always.
Genre-dominating.
10000/10000
Third is GOAT, after that when they released Chase The Tear I was so happy thinking they would release a new album, and now the hype IS BACK

>>65856941
3rd is an incredible record.
>>65856050
Portishead would have album of the year in the bag if they did something
>>65857115
as they did in 2008
>>65856050
I'd call it Conscious Industrial/Ambient record.
Nice it has a very A1 percussion the drummmer is always great and (funny on Twitter), ambience sounds like The Ship from Brian Eno.
Is more like an Pro-cause song, dedication, atleast the drummer was conscious these days associating himself with human rights actions and Bansky.
>>65856159
They have it on deck, atleast George, the drummer was keeping posting Studio footage at same time that hes on tour with KEAB> and his Invada Records artists fron Bristol.
Problably they gonna switch with the sound of previous, Third, something new.
I don't get Portishead that much. I mean, Beth Gibbons is fantastic, I love her voice and delivery and everything, but instrumental part always seems lacking - I know it's part of the trip hop genre to have a minimalistic, hip-hop-style instrumental part but that makes all songs sound weaker and like all the focus is put on Beth's voice, which is nice, but I don't get them as a group.
>>65856050
lush
>>65856892
damn
>>65857495
Try Third out if you haven't already, it's a very different album than what you are describing
>>65856135
>trip hop
I just love how miserable they made it sound...Portishead is barely trip hop these days tho m8
>>65856135
>I never thought an ABBA song could sound so good
ABBA is amazing you pleb!
>>65857088
>Third
my nigga that album is amazing
>>65859263
Which album should i listen?
>>65859563
>Which album should i listen?
prolly waterloo
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppKxlwaNsmc
Goddamn was that a waste of time.
>>65859263
>sound so good WHEN IN TRIP HOP
learn to read, moron
you should hear their version of Gimme Gimme
>>65857495
their instrumentals are not that weak really
>>65856050
I'd rather have old Portishead, please.
>>65856946
you are literally a million times retarded
>>65859804
thanks
HOLY SHIT
ES OU ES
>>65856856
>what is reading comprehension
Retard, they SHARED it in dedication to the murdered woman, nowhere does it say they made it on her memory.
>>65856050
I'm annoyed by the singing.
Does anyone know similar sounding music, but only instrumental?
>>65863532
kys
>>65863532
Just look at whatever Geoff Barrow has done
>>65856892
She's holding out her hand. Come with me, let's help each other, authentic empathy through the bullshit echo chamber of the internet and the corporate media etc. You can wew lad me all you want but that seems fairly obvious.
