Out Of Season
[Go Beat]
Some meetings should be compulsory. The meeting between Beth Gibbons , the Portishead singer and Paul Webb, bass player in the 80's band Talk Talk, is one of those. Though the first encounter actually took place ten years ago, during an audition of Paul O'Rang's new band audition in 1990, the ensuing magnificent record has just been released, competing with Portishead masterpiece's "Dummy". "Out Of Season" is even simpler and more "unplugged", carried by Beth Gibbons' delicate voice, and made of ten intimate, melancholic and romantic tracks inevitably reminding you of wintry rains. From Tom the Model to the sublime Funny Time of Year, Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man (what a strange pseudonym), the whole album is precious and shall be listened at for years to come.
