Thanks for this post… I’ve been reading your RSS feed for a while now.
Back when “Out of Season” was first released I was thinking about picking it up but the guys at my old record shop were divided in their opinions about it. (I seem to recall a lot of them saying “It’s cool, but it’s not Portishead”) Consequentally it got lost amongst the shuffle of “albums I’ll get around to picking up eventually”.
Listening to this track though I am realizing how much of Beth’s vocals are what made Portishead what they were (or still are considering the new album in the works). Stripped of the electronic elements and downtempo break beats, all of the moody tone and atmospherics that I love about Portishead still permeate this particular song. I’ll have to check out the studio version and the rest of that album.

squashie… have no worries.
thanks docta ~ im glad that you enjoyed *funny time of year*.. its so beautiful, the way her fragile vocals linger and crash, no matter what she’s apart of.. she still maintains those unforgettable qualities. make sure to check out the rest of the berlin show, its great!
