Influential female fronted band from Bristol, UK. Part of the trip hop genre with their laid back beats and cool scratching. Their first album "
Dummy" (1994) was praised by the media. And their second album, "Portishead" was welcomed warmly, although had quite a different sound to their first album. It was more dark and
disturbed. But still just as original and enjoyable with that distinct
jazz-fusion meets hip-hop feel about it.
