Portishead

Cult British group Portishead have revealed they are writing their third album, their first in eight years.
Founding member Geoff Barrow told BBC 6 Music the record was well on the way to being completed.

"We're actually into it as we speak. We took some time off for Christmas, but generally we're doing another record," Barrow told the digital radio station.

News of their album plans comes after confirmation the Bristol band will play a tsunami charity show next month.

Portishead will play alongside fellow Bristol band Massive Attack at Oxfam's Tsumani appeal, held at the Bristol Academy on 19 February.

Barrow said he was surprised people thought the band, who won a Mercury Music Prize in 1995 for their debut album Dummy, had split up.

La maison de disque annonce également une série de concert suivant cette sortie avec notamment une date parisienne : le 5 mai 2008 au Zenith.
