PORTISHEAD, Dummy (Go Beat; 8285221, UK 2017 Reissue, Inner, 180 Gram Vinyl) LP NEW/NEW

LP - NEW/NEW - PORTISHEAD, Dummy (Go Beat; 8285221, UK 2017 Reissue, Inner, 180 Gram Vinyl), , The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons; gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic moods permeate the album. "Sour Times' (the hit in which Gibbons cries, again and again, "Nobody Loves Me, It's True") and the more cryptic 'Glory Box' are the lynchpins of the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and film music, dehumanized electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting like she's consumed by shame, and a bass-and-beat pulse derived from the slow bump and grind of the Bristol scene that spawned barrow's old collaborators, Massive Attack. - 6056091S *** In Stock In Our Shoreditch Shop ***
