And a limited-edition 12"...

Portishead To Release 'Third' Via USB Stick Format Add to My Fav Bands List

Portishead have confirmed that they are releasing a very special USB stick version of their new album ‘Third.’

The limited-edition 1GB will feature the 11 album tracks as well as four films titled: 'Ade's House, Machine Gun', 'The Rip live @ Mr Wolfe's’, 'We Carry On' and ‘The Truly Spectacular Universal Conference Film.'

On top of the CD and USB stick there is a limited-edition double 12” vinyl version featuring special prints and etched vinyl. All three versions will be available on April 28.

The Bristol trio have also confirmed that ‘Third’ will be preceded by the single ‘Machine Gun’ on April 14 via 12” vinyl.

A download version of the single will be available from portishead.co.uk on April 10 from 8pm. There will be no b-sides.
