Portishead - Dummy
Black Vinyl • Gatefold Sleave
It moves slow. But never drifts. Dummy is built on restraint. Beats loop, textures repeat, everything circling the same mood without breaking it. Beth Gibbons sits right in the centre. Fragile, but fixed. Nothing overplayed, nothing pushed too far. The tension holds. Track to track. Dark, but controlled. And always deliberate.
“Great website experience and some absolute crackers to choose from, matched by swift delivery.”

About the album.
Released in 1994, Dummy is the debut album from Portishead, formed by Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons and Adrian Utley.
The record blends hip hop-inspired breakbeats, analogue textures and filmic arrangements, creating a sound that became closely associated with the Bristol scene alongside acts like Massive Attack and Tricky.
Tracks such as Sour Times, Glory Box and Roads define the album’s structure, built on repetition, space and mood rather than traditional song progression. Much of the instrumentation was recorded and then sampled back into the tracks, giving the record its worn, looped character.
Dummy went on to win the 1995 Mercury Prize and remains one of the most distinct albums of the 1990s.
Its strength sits in control.
