THE L AST RECORD Portishead singer Beth Gibbons released was 2019’s Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs), which she sang with The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Warsaw in 2014. Unknown to all, that year she’d also begun work on a new solo record. That LP, titled Lives Outgrown, is released in May.
Her creative foil this time is ex-Talk Talk drummer Lee Harris. She first worked with him in 1994 with .O.Rang, the group he formed with fellow ex-Talk Talk man Paul Webb. It was Webb who produced 2002’s much-admired Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man album Out Of Season.
