"The legendary in certain circles, Portishead team from the English city of Bristol (Bristol, UK). The band's name - the name of a small town 12 miles from the Bristol. It reads it as ""Portished.
Music of this group - a combination of jazz elements with the characteristic lo-fi sound arrangements, and all this put on the structure of trip-hop (trip-hop).
The effect on the creativity of today say many famous musicians.
The group was founded in 1991 and multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrow (Geoff Barrow) and singer Beth Gibbons (Beth Gibbons). Later they were joined by former jazz guitarist Adrian Utley (Adrian Utley), who became the third permanent member. Eventually, the base Portishead have released three studio albums and do not tolerate haste in this matter, as many other trip-hop.
Some confusion in the discography of making the alleged third studio album, entitled «Pearl». In fact, this album «Empathy» Group Mandalay.
Music Portishead and others like it works in style groups associated with the genre of ""trip hop"", although the groups themselves avoid the term, arguing that attempts to categorize the media their intractable categorization work.
Not Portishead invented trip-hop, not they, but Massive Attack are the pioneers of the genre, yet, without this group biography of trip-hop would be a much duller." Hide review
