Episode 139: Portishead

This week we're discussing every album by Portishead. Credited with pioneering trip-hop, as well as being one of the biggest bands of the 90s, Portishead released only three albums, yet managed to evolve alt music exponentially with each one. While they've never officially broken up, they are in no rush to put out records and only do so when they have something to say. A rare and impressive trait from a band with their level of success.

Closing track: "Machine Gun" from Third (2008)
