Portishead reveal details about third album

First new material in nine years may see light of day

Portishead have revealed details about their third studio album.

Founding member Geoff Barrow has revealed the band have completed their s
ongs for their third album.

It will be the first new material since their second self-titled album from 1997.
The bands last release was 'Roseland NYC Live' in 1998.

Posting on the band's Myspace page Barrow wrote: "We've had our meeting
with the label it was really positive....which makes the whole thing so much
easier to deal with nice people...The tracks are in a right mess but sounding
like a album for the first time in years they (are) a bit weird though. Its great
its nice to think us old gits have a few tunes in us without sounding like coffee
table Zero 7 - Moby - chill out shit!"

Since their last album, singer Beth Gibbons released a solo album, 'Out Of
Season', in 2002 with collaborator Rustin' Man.

New Hints of Portishead Album -
The last time Portishead released a new album was the 1998 live disc PNYC. The last time Portishead released an album of new material was 1997's Portishead. So after nearly a decade, we're pretty desperate for something, anything, resembling news of a forthcoming album.

Well, we got some tiny scraps last week, when the Bristol trio updated its MySpace page with some straight up good news: "weve had our meeting with the label it was really positive...which makes the whole thing so much easier to deal with nice people," the blog said. "the tracks are in a right mess but sounding like a album for the first time in years." The music is described as "fukin a bit weird" before the band takes some potshots at artists with whom they're often RIYL'd. "its nice to think us old gits have a few tunes in us without sounding like coffee table zero 7 - moby - chill out shit!!"

wicked, thanks for posting, can't wait.
