In 2008, Portishead—one of pop music’s great sleeping giants—awoke from hibernation to deliver its first studio album in 11 years.

Brass notes resound throughout, as mournful as a Dixieland funeral. And even the handclaps on “Paradise Circus” relinquish their volume to a hushed message: “The devil makes us sin / But we like it when we’re spinning in his grin.” Instead of reintroducing the genre’s founding dub steps and club sensibilities, contributions from Massive Attack’s musical... read more
