Portishead Announce Release Date of New Album

10 years after their initial blinding album Portishead, Portishead are well and truly back!

April 14th is the golden day for the UK release of the new album titled Third (I'm assuming the US release date will be around this time as well.)

According to the Portishead website, "The album has 11 tracks and is 49 minutes 13 seconds long."

Here's a new song from the Nightmare before Christmas ATP event.

This one is called Peaches.




What do you think of this new track? I'm reserving judgement until I've heard the new album.
