English band Portishead defined the 90s with their hauntingly atmospheric sound, cinematic depth, and emotional intensity, spearheading Britain's electronic music scene with warped soundscapes that blend hip-hop, experimental rock, and jazz, with the captivating vocals of lead singer Beth Gibbons. This week, in celebration of their highly-acclaimed breakout debut album Dummy turning 30 - a landmark record that influenced an entire generation of artists - we go Back To Back into the discography of the trip-hop pioneers.
