Perhaps because its members have so often spent time working on other projects, the breadth of Portishead’s recorded output is wholly out of kilter with the band’s vast influence. Between 1994 and 2008, the trio – singer Beth Gibbons, guitarist Adrian Utley and multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrow – released just three studio albums. A fourth may one day arrive, but don’t hold your breath.
