Portishead: Dummy

A Critique of an Underground Classic

By Chad VerzosaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

If melancholy had a sound, it would resemble the mournful soundscapes of Portishead's Dummy.

Accompanied by lush orchestral arrangements and unsettling theremin drones, Beth Gibbons' voice, switching between hushed whispers and agonizing banshee wails, penetrates you like a knife.

It feels so good you'd want it to go even deeper.
