Top notch song. A new album can't come soon enough.

This is great I thought I would have to wait until I was in my thirties before I heard more new Portishead.

It's like The Horrors but without the moaning dude.
Am liking the Beak> album much more than the Horrors tbh.
― The bugger in the short sleeves (NickB), Friday, 11 December 2009 09:21 (sixteen years ago)
It's quite a stylistic shift for them - the arpeggiated synth bass is disco-ish; the whole thing is a kind of glum lo-fi "I Feel Love"...
― superflyguy, Friday, 11 December 2009 10:46 (sixteen years ago)
This is pretty unexpected. New to me anyway - not sure if it's old in the US.

Thanks to you tweeting (or retweeting) that, I've been showing everyone! I think it was broadcast Tuesday night in the US.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 11 December 2009 11:45 (sixteen years ago)
It makes the song sound utterly thrilling and bizarre. I like the idea of casual viewers being tempted to check it.
― Dorian (Dorianlynskey), Friday, 11 December 2009 11:55 (sixteen years ago)
i like the way it sounds and looks amazing, but not actually weird or out of place - and the audience just cheers along normally. people's ideas of what will be acceptable or go down well w/mainstream audiences can be rather restrictive sometimes.

What about Beak>? Anyone heard them or have any thoughts? I liked, but was a bit disappointed by, the album after what I'd read ahead of time. I saw them live on Monday though and liked it a lot more.

Chase the Tear reminds me in parts of NIN, oddly.
― Communi-Bear Silo State (chap), Thursday, 17 December 2009 15:57 (sixteen years ago)
'chase the tear' is awesome. there's no chance it was recorded live, right? i'm inclined to say no, but the one-take video looks pretty convincing (even though there are no mics on the drums).

Well, they're still touring together which I hope means they're recording some new songs and not only doing it to get some tour money before fading off again.

It's not much to go by but if they're re-releasing old tracks via their official Soundcloud page maybe there's a chance?

only a half hour show? were there more bands playing? it feels like such a tiny set after so many years inactive. Beth Gibbons sounds a bit out of breath in some segments (particularly on the higher notes for 'wandering star' and 'roads')
