Portishead - Chase The Tear

[mindnumber9]

and the right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.

[Livbmg12]

Kan I høre Donna Summer beatet?

[fittersitter]

@Livbmg12

if you 'Kan høre' anything then it's giogio moroder. donna was olny the voice. you should look also for the soundtrack of minnight express (the chase) that'll explain a lot.

[spung21]

Great song and video, but it's OOS. :/

[FonzoS100]

Thumbs-up for real.

[donkellTV]

extrahordinario :)

[gusweg69]

♥♥♥!!!!!!!!

[HomieSerio]

The guitar solo is fuking perfect

[DEADRIPE]

Pure genius.

[pengmuseek]

In my opinion this track is nothing new it's like the next episode of Third album or it can be a bonus track of Third. For me until now "Third is a masterpiece album of Portishead"

[bloochoo]

I used to live in Portishead!!

[angrageo]

Molto gradita la dedica di questo brano per Amnesty. Evviva i Portishead!

[edlezzz]

Awesome!

[23lFrench]

Listening to a lot of Krautrock it would seem, very sick indeed.

[Aom567]

portishead makes me randy

[shpaa1]

to agapw ayto to tragoudi!!!

[yoxoze]

HOT!!

[lordoid]

And suddenly it's avaible on vinyl! Thank you portishead!!! Great groovy song and definetly a kind of musical direction worth to explore for portishead!

[D4VERD4NN]

This song is honestly one of the most wicked things the band has yet released, featuring a frenetic, jerky synthwave groove akin to the classic 1980s German Neue Deutsche Welle sound, with Beth Gibbons delivering her trademark hushed tones overtop.

[aokdublin]

'I Feel Love', in a good way.

[nikgml]

@aokdublin Funny you say that! I always thought there is no way to sing "I feel Love" in a good way!.. and certainly not in a trippy way!

[tourettes84]

motorik <3

[MyRitmo]

isnt this a new track? it says transferred 9 dec 2009..

[PelicanGodOfJupiter]

@MyRitmo It's newly released on vinyl, but was previously released as a digital download, also for Amnesty.

[MyRitmo]

@PelicanGodOfJupiter ok thanks, i just got it serviced and played it in my radioshow. the date here made me a bit unsure. cheers

[maketimmycry]

I saw this live bitches!

[kopperspock]

@maketimmycry Alexandra Palace? Best gig I've been to in yonks!

[tftka]

it's been many years; finally good to have a favorite band again!!! now, to ride it out! stay blessed P. Seattle was greatfully rocked a few days prior.

[theworldlooksred]

Factory floor

[christiaanlutzer]

Love this song. For some reason it sounds like it could fit perfectly into the Scarface sountrack...

[ullasharah]

meeeexicoooooooooooooooooooooo­o!

[JamesBluebook]

amazing track, cant wait to go see them again.......preferably not as caned as i was last time :S

[vincenzo160380]

reeks awesome

[modlang23]

I personally think Portishead of today are better than they have ever been. Adventurous spirits. Most people would be happy if they just repeated Glory Box ad nauseum.

[JamesBluebook]

@modlang23 couldnt agree more, they sound really raw now, the old stuff was great but this (and the last album) has a really cool feel to it.

[yenbadcito]

@modlang23 im one of those glory box ad nauseam types, but what you said is gonna make me think some more about the new stufff :)

[XBenefitOfMrKiteX]

music from the future

[shum65]

Good one...grrrreat vocals too.....!!! :)

[skateNappreciate]

for the longest time, i thought this song was called "Chase The Tear", tear as in tears when you cry. i watched jimmy fallon two nights ago and they played live and he said "Chase The Tear (Tuh-air)" as in tear paper in half. i had no idea.

[fakeplasticdreams]

Very Komische. Niceee

[inrussiatubeviewsyou]

i have to admit, i've never been a fan of Third or their more electronic sound, but i'm starting to like the sort of trance-side to a lot of it

[dreadeye]

i love portishead, but i dont really like this song

[tricky2906]

Portishead sounds like Radiohead! Me like it :)

[punksaregayjokes]

i found this band in a porno montage



[IpswichTilliDie1]

Fucking brilliant! you really need to listen to this song with headphones on to appreciate just how awesome it is

[demarkman29]

Seeing them in Toronto in a couple of weeks!

[MinaDeMilena]

WOWWWWWWWWWW!



[dirtycelinefrenchman]

how '80s of them

[alvin156]

Not really trip-hop:(

[dirtycelinefrenchman]

@alvin156 synth-hop?

[TheEloeo]

@alvin156 Trip-hop was quite a short-lived genre, pretty much all classic trip-hop artists now make more rock oriented music. Third was still awesome, it just doesn't have anything to do with trip-hop.

[JamArn25]

Need more Portishead!!!

[MRagnos]

somehow this song reminds of jigsaw falling into place by radiohead

[Namelessfish]

not long in to them but they are so wow

[seapockets]

genius

[figbat1]

I LOVE THIS SONG!.............want to know some bad-ass s h i t about the foo fighters that they dare not print anywhere....go to "walls flowers negfbjm" and press "see all" to find my 3 commetns. regards

[ucfknightsjay]

Does anyone know when the new album is due???

[jimbobanalbeats]

@ucfknightsjay No word yet.

[rotttenone]

this is absolutely amazing

[MochiPuff58]

devo dude

[lordoid]

OK...It's gettin' better and better. Release it on vinyl! :)

[lordoid]

Amazing! Love the phat vintage synth sounds in there!

[djshaithis]

wow...this is ....not good. or at least not Portishead good. It's not even Portishead bad. just bad.

[Toastertron]

@djshaithis Would you prefer that they released a song that sounded just like their back catalog of admittedly fantastic songs then? The trouble with bashing them for releasing a song that you don't like because it doesn't sound as good as their other material means they would never progress and evolve and then you would slate them for sounding the same. If you are so intent on reliving the glory days just go listen to something else and stop posting retarded comments.

[djshaithis]

@Toastertron @Toastertron ....if you chose to engage your brain before posting, or even read my post, you would see that I did not compare it to "their back catalog of admittedly fantastic songs". I said it was not good. For Portishead's bad tracks or tracks that differ from their norm, I give them credit for attempting something new. But when something is bad, I will say so. When I see Beth in October, I will give her my honest opinion. She has appreciated that in the past.....

[djshaithis]

@Toastertron .....far more than the mewling sycophants, for example"Fanatics of NIN or U2", who think everything produced by a band can be redeemed solely by the performer. I am honored and humbled to have the fortune of being a friend of the band and I hope my honest opinion is one of the reasons Beth always puts me on the list. All change is not good, it's just change. Good is good, and bad is bad. But after all, these are only dissenting opinions and mean nothing to the likes of you.

[Toastertron]

@djshaithis Oh wait my bad! Sorry I didn't realise you were a friend of the band! I take back everything I said and you win. No, no you win! You are a friend of the band, how could I possibly argue against a relationship like that.

Wow, I should really pick my battles a little better in future.

... friend of the band, nice one. I'll remember that.

[djshaithis]

@Toastertron No, you pissant. Just use your brain before you use your flippant lip. It's too bad you take this as a win/lose event. You may have learned something. This is a singular comment. About one song. You come off as a fanatic who cannot accept criticism of the idol of worship. You're profile says you are 38, yet you behave as a child. Grow and learn.

Remember that.

[mellamoputo]

@djshaithis

For being a friend of the band, I would like to think you've been in the loop of this song longer than merely a month ago, when you left your concise yet elucidating commentary on it.

I'm not a friend of the band, and I downloaded this song a year-and-a-half ago.

Where have you been, mate?

[djshaithis]

@mellamoputo : not following a band like a rabid dog. Music is not my life, it is something I enjoy casually . I haven't been in a record shop in 5 years and I don't i-tune. People send me music they think I'd enjoy, and I have many people who call me friend that I haven't seen for years. That being said, I just think Toastertron is a putz and I stand by my simple yet complete thought on this song..... and now I know why no one told me about it....or if they did....I don't remember.

[ElectricityBlues]

I try and move with artists. I try to respect their need for change and I appreciate good artists and their desires to progress artistically and not put out the same music over and over. And I love Portishead and Beth Gibbons like nobody's business. Always have, always will. Changed my life.

That being said, this shit is pure, 100% awful.

[DarBresh]

there is a reason why some say it's trip-hop.

this music really takes you on a trip.

[maxvonhexxxe]

Lipsing......

[karenzitaNice]

I love that song good!!!

[xXSythenXx]

It's Portishead and early Industrial Music <3 xD

[1776Matthew]

Portishead does new-wave.

Still not living up to their early material, or Beth's solo album...

[lucianolucagnoli]

Portishead, Björk and Massive Attack... THAT IS MUSIC!!!!

[calmsnowfall]

Beth is still beautiful.

[gmj2012]

Her voice is just so damn amazing, I fell in love with them at least 13 years ago now, and every time I come across them on the web, it starts my obsession all over again with Portishead. This music doesn't fit ANY one category, almost always haunting & hugely atmospheric, emotional & physical, & so much more. Very difficult to find the words to describe just HOW awesome their music is.

[guitarelio]

the sound reminds me of marianne faithfuls album broken english

[MANKUB123]

Sounds really fresh .....

[rever22]

its a perfect song for a chase in batman's 80's tv show

[owlmage]

@rever22 I'm batman...and Shinoda and I aprove.

[lostidproductions]

@rever22 yeah :P

[pepebetong17]

Maravilloso!!!

[101stormrage]

I'm gonna be on the mexico's city concert

I fucking love beth gibbons shes unique

[monis745]

@tacvbosonico123 ya se confirmo amigo y seguro sera el evento del año Portishead Rocks!!!

[tacvbosonico123]

Ojala mañana se confirme a Portishead en el Corona Capital en México!

Porfa, de verdad que México los quiere ver bieeeeen cabron!!!

[skateNappreciate]

I have a feeling alot of people watching this dont 100% like it, this song has a "Third" vibe (their third album) which I didn't like at first, but one night i listened to the whole album all the way through and I gotta say, I was hypnotized by it. I was drooling on my pillow cus I was so fuckin lost in it, its like walking through a spooky funhouse and beth is singing on an intercom

[AKAAKAlive]

check out our cover version of Portishead's "The Rip" featuring Betty Lenard!

[shueat]

Quality!!!!

[a20gregjockca]

first, many moons ago, it was my mouth, then my anus succumbed a few years later, and now alas my ears have also lost their virginity. thank you portishead for cracking my hole open with your music. lulz.

[0ook]

<3

[madeofcelery]

a voice has only so many songs in it

[nilbogeht]

sounds like massive attack :)

[whiteangel69able]

this is addictive!!!!

[laur44n]

one of my favorite songs ever.

[brittlynn1018]

this is absolutely amazing... love portishead

[xis10ce]

i'm a portishead fan till the sun burns out, but beth is not the same singer she used to be...

[tomidlak]

@xis10ce and that's good. i hate self repeating.

[ATHFable]

интересно, portishead когда -нибудь приедут в Рашку? Все бы отдала чтобы увидеть их вживую..

[sterile7]

it looks like a very interesting direction for portishead: reducion, and more elctronic and monotonic. hell yeah

[blackpearl844]

too much sound in my ears. and i am high now !

[BigMacTracks]

Wow. :( this is wack as fuck and I love Portishead

[decym92]

I love it, relax in 101%...

[sanfelproductions]

You can buy it on internet

[frechbax1]

da kommste in Wallung =)

[yoyow666ditendang]

chase for what?? they're flew

[nesssaja]

when is the new album due to relase????

[Whirlee79]

@nesssaja this song is an internet release only

[FibeDaraEggurow]

@nesssaja Whenever they get around to it. So maybe in six months, or maybe six years.

[gorMoskeda]

q loco como termina el tema de unaa..

[creolefreak22]

If I had a band in my living room, it would be exactly like this....

[MrTecism]

Dope!

[gismo437]

ksefygeeeeeeee.......

[tasimana]

first time i've heard this and its not bad- not the masterpiece the first two lp's are but great to see them making music again.

[therealnapster94]

the instrumental sounds like the knive or fever ray. like that.

[faster4tec]

@therealnapster94

these guys have been around a few years longer that Ms.Dreijer Andersson. Though she's great too :p

[Azureflair]

I love how much this band has evolved. They originally started with Beth minimalistically speaking to simple trip-hop beats, and over time they've incorporated more melody and intricasy to the actual music. This is a really interesting direction they're moving in.

[zammuel1]

Impressive guitar solo there in the end by Mr Utley ;) Brilliant song, Beth is incredible as always. Got a ticket for their show in Alexandra Palace, can't wait for July...

[insidethefall78]

I've liked portishead for a while now, I bought PNYC which I listened to constantly and when hearing the self titled and dummy I felt they lacked some of the emotion of their live versions. Third, however took me by surprise. I believe it's their best and most accomplished effort so far - There's a wide variety of songs and everything is very dark, in fact I think it's one of the best albums i've heard in this style.

[KINKYmustache]

This song is good, but too different. They used to have darker tracks, many of them almost depressing, but this one... well, this one's different, but I like it.

[designinsight]

I live just down from the M5 from Portishead into Somerset.

[Joe22c]

@divinityboy

No, the question "How long does it take to like their album" is subjective.

The question "how long did it take for you to like their album" is objective.

.

There is a distinction between an answer that varies and an answer that is inherently subjective.

.

It is similar to asking, "Which is the better artist" versus "which artist do you prefer"

[Joe22c]

@divinityboy

Yes; thank you for your subjective opinion. However I was more interested in something more concrete; to requote myself: "How long did it take for you guys to come around to Third?"

.

I am looking for a time frame.

[LewisTheTool]

@Joe22c I got into Third as soon as I bought it, I'd rate it as one of my fav albums of all time, if you don't like it you can giiiiit out

[Joe22c]

@LewisTheTool

.

I don't quite understand the "all-or-none" attitude. I am warming up to it. I like some songs but am lukewarm to others.

.

Furthermore, "Giiiiiit out" is a rather bizarre course of action. How does one get out of the internet? Was one ever "in it" to begin with?

.

I thank you for your response to the time frame component of my question.

[Joe22c]

I really enjoyed the first 2 albums but I'm having a hard time getting acquainted with Third.

.

It all feels so much more droning, stiff, industrial; and soulless (and not in the good way).

.

I can't help but feel that some of the hype comes from their past achievement + the idea that if you don't "get" the experimental stuff, it's b/c you're dense.

.

How long did it take for you guys to come around to Third? At the moment I'm not digging the "Krautrock" sound.

[SomeMightEvenDie]

@Joe22c

Gradually. I liked a few of the tracks immediately, and the rest have followed over the course of a year.

[Joe22c]

@SomeMightEvenDie

Yeah, right now I really like Hunter and Deep Water. I'm cool with Silence and The Rip. Lukewarm to the rest. Slowly warming up tho :-)

[SuperFubar666]

I am looking forward to see them live again,this is one of the best electonic bands out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[betobunkero]

Son tan.... No lo sé ¿Perfectos?

[Madmas27]

Now available on i-tunes, just FYI peeps!

[zelowforever]

This simplicity in the music video and a melody. Beth Gibbons is doing here for everything. Beth I want more:)

[musicman9881]

i hope this spawns new songs by them, but anything new will never come close to third or the dummy records! not at all, there is alot more newness in the old music,

[AllRightsReservedTV]

Does anyone know what analog synth they're using ?

Thanks

[simciu]

@AllRightsReservedTV

The one with lots of knobs, seen first in the video (0:05) is EMS VCS3 and then for a second we can see something that looks like Korg M500 Micro-Preset (1:27).

[marsupialmicron]

@simciu So here we are again! any new track we should hear?

[simciu]

@marsupialmicron

hehehe yes I know, actually I have the gear set up to record a new tune but can't find time, maybe this sunday! but hey, look who's talking :P

[AllRightsReservedTV]

@simciu

Yeah, I found out in the meantime and I confirm that's the Korg M500 Micro-Preset, I got one myself. Anyway thanks

[jwm00ner]

YES!!! I hope they create an entire album of this.

[bisnonnocanapa]

she's a fuckin queen! i love you babe

[SCHNKHOUSE]

love it

[Joe22c]

Im glad Beth is bringing back the long hair =)

It's a good look on her.

[bjvdrummer]

What an awesome video. all the equipment in a crowded room. and beth still has her passion

[rensq]

pretty cool you posted this. ;-)

thanks. i wouldn't have known.

[xXxXFoolehCoolehXxXx]

This is reallyreallyreally nice.

[Andymalcolm1]

Portishead great band...great voice

[calca1000]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[podfunaug30]

love em

[a7s3h]

the great frequency sick:) very nice music! portishead new side:)

[mbmanray]

Portishead = passion / beth gıbbons - stunning!!

[stephenp1968]

It's quite good, but they've done better, MUCH better.

[migenic]

Una de las mejores bandas...

[JWednes]

это - наиболее красивая песня

[SonnieGrey]

@JWednes

а я вот слушаю и недогоняю, что в ней красивого? П-хэд перешли на тот этап творчества, когда достаточно играть пару сумбурных нот под наспех накиданный бит, и все будут визжать уже от этого. Главное не забыть показать ЕМС и полуакустику, желательно в черно-белых тонах.

ИМХО лажа. И пофиг мне, что это одна их моих любимых команд, лажа есть лажа. Жаль...

[nilbogeht]

@SonnieGrey listen to some old songs, then you will love it (google trandlator:слушать старые песни, то вы будете любить его)

[SonnieGrey]

@nilbogeht

Yes, I've been listening to their old songs for about 10 years already, and yes, I love them. Second album is amazing, and "Melody Nelson" is a top example of production for me. But this track sucks in my opinion. As a "Third" album. Not because I don't like the genre itself (c'mon, "Third" is not trip-hop anymore), but because I know a lot of much more inspiring examples of it.

Thanx for the respond!

[nilbogeht]

@JWednes google translator: "it - the most beautiful song" :)

[secretMachine]

Definitely different, but I'm guessing they know they need to try something new. This beat reminds me of some devo version of donna summers I feel love... I dunno, sounds good though, and of course nothing but love for Beth's voice, lyrics and intense emotion.

[artvandelay13]

Definitely not their best, but, being Portishead, still awesome...

[amylunable]

quisiera verlos tocar en vivo... mi banda favorita !!! la mejor

[RossTheHick]

love the music, can't stand the vocals

[TheXXXXBitter]

@RossTheHick your an idiot

[RossTheHick]

@TheXXXXBitter Why? Because I have a musical preference? Go f*ck yourself, lowlife.

[RossTheHick]

@TheXXXXBitter Oh yeah, and its YOU'RE, not YOUR. Learn how to spell fuckface.

[TheXXXXBitter]

@RossTheHick YOU'RE an idiot

[ksihueso]

Deberían de venir a México!!!!

ahh, ese sería un concierto que no me perdería por nada del mundo

[betobunkero]

Graaaaaaaaaandes
