Ah... it's been a looooong wait, but finally, my favorite lo-fi band has released a new album.

Third by Portishead is gorgeous. It's got a bit more edge than their previous two albums, but it's still golden.

Forget emo; Portishead is what I personally like to refer to as super-goth. Not in the music classification sense (I never understood those classifications). But in its pure intent, it's like listening to despair herself singing.

Rich, black, silky smooth, thick oozes of depression gently washing over your soul and drowning it in sweet sorrow.

Lol. Ok, so I am not a depressed person and I was never a goth. But I likes me sad music and Portishead is my special treat whenever I feel like an unhealthy dose of melancholy.

Now, if I could just get a hold of Boa (the UK one not the Korean band) and some actual Swedish Kent albums...
