Portishead Hope To Release Fourth Album NEXT YEAR!

September 28, 2009
Portishead Hope To Release Fourth Album NEXT YEAR!Portishead hope to release their fourth studio album by the end of next year, says Geoff Barrow.

The 37-year-old instrumentalist/producer said they have already been talking about new ideas and hope hit the recording studio soon.

He told BBC6music: "We're going to start writing and if all goes well it could be (out) in a year's time. That would be the most perfect thing to do."

If the record materialises it will be released just three years after 'Third' – swift work for a band who took 11 years to follow up 1997's 'Portishead'.

Barrow went on to reveal to the Beeb that Portishead aren't currently tied to a record contract and have spoke to various labels about the best way to release any potential material.

However, he dismissed the idea of Portishead forming their own imprint, joking: "It would be a complete nightmare. It would end in a nervous breakdown!”

Barrow's side project BEAK> release their album through Invada Records on October 19.
