WIKIPEDIA:

Portishead () are an English musical group formed in 1991 in Bristol. The band is named after the nearby town of the same name, west of Bristol. Portishead consists of Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons, and Adrian Utley, while sometimes citing a fourth member, Dave McDonald, an engineer on Dummy and Portishead.

History

Dummy (1994)
Portishead's first album Dummy was released in 1994. The credits of Dummy indicate that at this juncture, Portishead was a duo of Geoff Barrow and Beth Gibbons. Adrian Utley, who co-produced the album with Portishead (and who played on 9 of the tracks and co-wrote 8), became an official band member shortly after the album's release.
Despite the band's aversion to press coverage, the album was successful in both Europe and the United States (where it sold more than 150,000 copies even before the band toured there). Dummy spawned three singles: "Numb", "Sour Times", "Glory Box", and won the Mercury Music Prize in 1995. In 2003, the album was ranked number 419 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album cover features a still from the band's own short film To Kill a Dead Man.
