Doesn't get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

I've loved Beth Gibbons' singing style? voice? ever since listening to Dummy many years ago. I recently found out she has a solo album coming out next month. I've not listened to any of her solo work before, she only has one other solo album from over 20 years ago from what I can tell. I don't think it's trip hop, but I'm going to try give it a listen soon.

I just find it really funny that they're named after the place Portishead, which isn't really much to look at as small towns go, and yet they've achieved international success.

The incongruity is amusing to me for some reason.
