Portishead already preparing new album

Portishead returned this year with their long awaited new album Third, and producer Geoff Barrow has claimed in a new interview that the band could be set for a swift return.

In an interview with BBC 6Music, Geoff Barrow said the band would not take 11 years to record their next album. “When everyone’s had a bit of a break, I think we’re just going to plough onto it,” he said. “I think we’re kind of there now. We’ve sat down and we’ve talked about the direction and stuff like that.”

“Everyone seems really positive about it. And I think everybody at some point wants to get back out on the road, because we didn’t really do an awful lot of live stuff. What’s really interesting is that we’re in this lucky position now. We haven’t got a record company; our deal ended and so did our publishing deal.”
