Daily Album Review #3 : Dummy by Portishead

[Post-punkcel]

Portishead is a band formed in the 90s by singer songwriter Beth Gibbons and producers Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley. "Dummy" released in 1993 would be their debut album, which was greatly influential for the trip hop genre.

(Even tho it's on streaming platforms I won't talk about "It's a fire" since it wasn't on the original release. Great track, tho it kinda breaks the flow of
the album.)

This album pretty much takes the sounds of hip-hop drums, electronic sound effects, jazz elements and Beth's otherworldly singing performances to make an haunting masterpiece about self-doubt, emotional suffering and womanhood.

"Mysterons" is the opener, with its rattling drums and distant keys. Right off the start of the album Beth sounds absolutely defeated, which pretty much sets the mood for the album. Her voice sounds like a ghost haunting a 90s hip-hop beat.

Following that comes the jazzy "Sour Times" whose instrumental could very well suits a James Bond movie. Beth sings about the way she hates to be so fake and pleasing to other people, which I'm sure a lot of you can relate to. The "Nobody loves me it's true, not like you do." chorus is a smart double entendre where the "not like you do" could either mean that this somebody loves her more than anyone or that this somebody is completely indifferent to her. 1 phrase, 2 completely opposite meanings.

The mechanical "Strangers" has one of Beth's best vocal performances on the album on the chorus. I love how unlikely this very mechanical beat that sounds like recordings of an old machine and Beth's singing are layered here.

"It could be sweet" is one of the deeper cuts on the album but nonetheless one of my favorites, mainly because of the lyrics. Beth seems to sing to this other person that doesn't reciprocate any of the attention or romantical care in their relationship. A very low-key instrumental that permits Beth to really shine vocally as she switched between whispering and bird-like vocals.

Nihilistic lyrics are at the center of "Wandering Star". One of the albums more low-key points again but nonetheless mesmerizing. The very bassy instrumental is pretty fitting for a song about stars fading out into emptiness and the gospel-like synths at the end are a nice touch.

"Numb" continues the streak of more low-key cuts with resonating metallic drums, pitched vocal samples and dubby bass. I do think it's one of the thinnest tracks both vocally and instrumentally, not a whole lot that makes it a necessary track on the album although it's still a pretty good song.

Guilt seems to be the predominant feeling on "Roads" according to its chorus "How can it feel this wrong ?" The strings and fuzzy guitars give this song such a lush sound, absolute ear candy.

"Pedestal" is one of the more hip-hop and turntable inspired tracks on the album with some of Beth's more faint vocals. Lyrically it sounds a lot like if this person she's singing about completely abandoned her and where she feels ridiculous for even wanting them back in her life.

The bleakest and most depressive track on the project "Biscuit" is one of my favorites, top 3 on the album for me. The distant vocal samples of "I'll never fall in love again" as Beth sings about being a slave of sensation (most probably referring to sexual pleasure) is one of the more emotional songs. Lots of emotional contradiction and desolation is expressed in the lyrics, which like I said makes for the darkest track here.

The album ends surprisingly with a soul song, of course I'm talking about the popular "Glory Box". This song is about womanhood, or lack thereof as Beth begs to feel womanly in the chorus. It's a pretty sensual song and catchy song, which makes sense for it to be the most popular song the band has put out. And the guitars on this track sound sick as hell.

In conclusion, the success of this album is not only due to the band's creative blend of electronics, instrumental hip-hop and jazz but also Beth's sensible and heart wrenching lyricism and soft yet piercing vocals. There's a special feel to "Dummy", mainly due to how Beth haunts those tracks with melancholy.

I'm feeling a 9.7/10 on this album, I think it's genuinely a must listen for everyone, love love this album.

BUMP

i agree like beth gibbon is so goated she really like did a lot of the heavy lifting for this album like her voice gives the whole thing a such a unique atmosphere
also that double meaning thing about sour times is actually really cool i had no clue about that also it’s probably one of my favorite tracks on the album because of its jazzy feel and i LOVE jazz
but other than that roads glory box and maybe also biscuit are my favorites
plus with numb even though it might be kinda weak it definitely helps the pacing of the album but it definitely isn’t the most memorable so it’s also prob my least favorite
absolutely essential trip hop record, id give it a 10/10 and it still sounds so beautiful and unique and relevant even so long after its release

She's definitely the selling point of this album, and the 2 other albums Portishead would release are also amazing, their self titled maintaining this classic Portishead sound and Third drifting away from trip hop to offer more psychedelic and experimental elements.

Beth Gibbons would also release a folk album in collaboration with Rustin Man off of Talk Talk's fame which is also otherworldly beautiful and "Lives Outgrown" in 2024 which continues on those psychedelic folk elements with more krautrock and post-rock elements that I think is a flawless album.
