Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man

Having mentioned this to many Portishead fans and having most of them say that they weren't aware of it, I think it is worth mentioning that, in 2002, Beth Gibbons from Portishead released a remarkable album partnered with Rustin Man. It is very minimal in its textures and so moving in its starkness. Please listen.


I think I've enjoyed this more than the work put out by Portishead, but that is largely due to the musical mood I've been in for some time now. This album is always easy to come back to and very comforting without sacrificing any integrity. Amazing work. Again, please listen.
