Portishead – Portishead

Portishead is the second studio album by the English electronic music group Portishead, released on 29 September 1997 by Go! Discs. With Portishead, the band chose to eschew sampling other records, which had been a defining feature of their debut album Dummy. Instead, they created original pieces which they wove into the songs, resulting in a more textured sound. The only song to employ samples was “Only You”, which incorporates elements of Ken Thorne’s Inspector Clouseau score and The Pharcyde’s “She Said”.
