Portishead will begin planning the successor of ‘Third’, released six years ago in 2008.
The revelation emerged during a session of questions to the website “The Quietus” where Adrian Utley said he and his bandmates Geoff Barrow and Beth Gibbons, have already ‘clearing our schedules so we can get on with it, otherwise it will be another ten years,’ he joked.
Both Adrian Utley and Barrow are enthusiastic about the fourth album and the recent interest Utley into model synthesizers and modern composition will certainly influence the recording sessions of the band, revealed, in turn, Barrow. He also said that Portishead’s planned 2014 tour dates which will have an impact on the shape of the new album.
Also relevant to note that Portishead are currently out of contract with any record label, which shouldn’t keep the band of releasing the record by the end of the year, or beginnings of 2015.
