Despite dropping only three albums since forming in the early-‘90s, the trio of Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow, and Adrian Utley have made the releases count. 1994's Mercury Music Prize-winning Dummy is widely hailed as one of the best albums of the 20th century, while 1997's Portishead and 2008's Third ushered in a more sinister and gothic approach to the band's influential cinematic sound. It all adds up to a sterling body of work that shows how the Bristol-based group have transcended their early trip-hop roots.
