Passing the Time with Beth Gibbons

I was able to grab a copy of the new Beth Gibbons record, "Out of Season," a few weeks back. For those who don't know, Beth is the voice behind Portishead. This record, though, couldn't be any farther from that band. This is the record I wanted Beth Orton's "Daybreaker" to be: new, exciting, and rich. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes folky, but always haunting, "Out of Season" is a great album that I can't stop playing.

Especially when it's raining. It's a great soundtrack to falling raindrops.

I checked the big music websites around the web, and I can't find anything cheaper than $19.99 due to import status. You might be able to find it cheaper. I'd almost say $19.99 is worth it, but I won't. Because no singular CD is worth $19.99. (do you hear me, Sam Goody/Record Town/every-other-mall-record-store?)

Yeah, I've heard good things about her solo album... and I forget who the guitar player was that she collaborated with. It was someone I like, I remember. Heh.
Portishead used to be one of my favorite bands. I say "used to" because I got fucking sick and tired of being jerked around as a fan by them. I can't even remember how many 'release dates' were tossed around for the 'new Portishead album' in the last 3 years. And then there was the supposed tour in Australia that first got bumped back 2 or 3 times, and then went en-route with the 'album' and never happened either. Pff. It's too bad, really. They were such a great band.
Nice to know at least one of them is moving on. Does anyone know if Gibbons' solo album is supposed to evenutally make it to the States, and when?
Now... Geoff Barrow... find a band, bro. Get to it. I hear Oasis has a 'couple of openings' in it. :lol:

I'm not that a big Portishead fan so I dont know of the ups and downs you speak of.

But seek this record out. It's a goodie.
