Bristol based downtempo, jazz, experimental, Trip-hop band formed in 1997 to do a few remixes by Portishead live-show bassist Jim Barr, featuring: Barr; singer / guitarist Jesse 'Morningstar' Vernon (of Moonflowers & Praise Space Electric); John Baggott; & Toby Pascoe. The band signed to Bristol's Cup of Tea Records label. Their sound, based on hip-hop rhythms, subtle funky guitars, & jazz attitudes sprinkled with a hint of psychedelia, possesses a unique pop dimension that pushes the boundaries of the Trip-hop genre..

Nicely, mate. What a talented bunch of musicians - i've loved everything (well, every release i'm aware of) that they've put out. If only Beth was a bit more productive: her voice is too good to be confined to 3 post-Portishead releases. I still watch 'Live At Roseland' occasionally - the sound is entrancing. And Beak are a superb group too. I shall look forward to this.
ReplyDeleteThanks NØ! Back to Bristol! Is EVERYTHING connected to Bristol?
ReplyDeleteIt always goes back to Bristol.
DeleteThe sound "possessed a darkness that is uplifting, a joyful melancholy" characterised by a slow, spaced-out hip hop sound that artists synonymous with the city made popular: Massive Attack: Portishead; Tricky; Way Out West; Smith & Mighty; Up, Bustle and Out; Monk & Canatella; Kosheen; Roni Size; & the Wild Bunch.
