Today, the 9th of December 2018 marks 3,977 days since the release of Portishead's third thirdly titled album Third; the same number of days that passed between the release of Third (28/04/2008) and their 2nd self-titled album Portishead (16/11/1997)
If Portishead carry on releasing albums at the same exponentially increasing rate of time in between albums then I predict that their fourth studio album wont be released until the 29th of July 2041
On the day you posted this I was at the local coffee shop and my friend who was barista was playing "The Rip" from Third and she and I got to talking about Portishead and I wondered if they had released anything since this album. If you Google "new Portishead album" then Third comes up so it seems there have been no kind of announcements on any progress made on a fourth record. But if the level of quality continues, I am willing to wait however long it takes. Even if the members are in their eighties when it happens.

Geoff Barrow has been releasing a few albums under the name BEAK>> in collaboration with two other people. Worth checking out some of it. Not sure what the others are doing. Portishead have recorded a couple of one off tracks as well, most recently they did a cover of ABBA's SOS. They need to get their shit together.
