i remember years ago walking into a mall one day...it was the F.Y.E record store i recall one of the few that still had vinyl and hearing this over the P.A system...
asking the dude..WTF IS THAT?!?!
he respondedPortishead
i instantly bought that LP "Dummy" and fell in love with it
introduced it to a producer friend of mine and he said it changed his whole perspective on sound
So did I. About 17-18 years ago, me and my homie were chilling around College Park, MD, hitting a comic book store and music store around there and while in the music store, I heard some brooding beat playing with some serene, eerie-like lady singing over it playing. I asked the clerk what the song was and it they replied, "Mourning Air" from Portishead. I asked if they had the cd there and I copped on the spot and we rode in teh whip playing it throughout the rest of our riding around that day. Was perfect mood music, since it was rainy as fukk outside as well at the time.
All 3 of their albums are sublime.
Their dark sound makes me feel like I’m in some David Lynch movie. shyt is incredibly atmospheric.I love Portishead, all 3 of they albums GOAT.
Playing they shyt when it's cold outside
I listen to their stuff year-round, but Dummy is some of the best night-cruising music ever.
been listening to this band for damn near a decade and i still dont know if theyre pronounced “portis-head” or “portish-ead” 
Wish we got another album from the Third era. They reinvented their sound with that drop. Beth's sultry vocals fans all know and loved from the first two albums turned into cries that complemented the post-apocalyptic, krautrock sound it had going for it. Not a shocker to see Geoff composing theatrical scores. If this is it from them then I'm more than happy. Anything else that follows is gravy.
Over the years I've come around to Third being their best. the atmosphere on that shyt is incredible and while dummy is consistently great, the highs on third like some of the best songs ever for me

Got into them because Rah Digga referenced them in a verse on Busta’s Dilla dedication tape
One of the guys in Portishead said recently that back in 1998, Dilla did a Portishead remix. The engineer lost it or some shyt so it doesn't exist anymore.

Third really hit like that? I wrote it off when I first heard it and realized now I never went back to it

alot lately, too, and I forgot how cinematically grimey this comeback sounded
the dark noir sound like ghostly whispers on a dark rainy night in Brisbane
Coli really got some music heads for real for real.
