Come float on a moment with Beth Gibbons, the enigmatic voice behind visionary trip-hop group Portishead. In 2024, Gibbons released Lives Outgrown, her debut solo studio album, via Domino Recording Company.
She’s now on tour in support of that album, and she performs at The Anthem in DC on Sunday, March 30!
Three decades after Portishead revolutionized music with their unique blend of vocal jazz and atmospheric hip-hop fusion, Beth has embraced a new direction with Lives Outgrown; an album inspired by farewells, with a folkier, deeper, and more exploratory sound.
Lives Outgrown features 10 beautiful new songs recorded over a period of 10 years, the album was produced by James Ford & Beth Gibbons with additional production by Lee Harris (Talk Talk).
Lives Outgrown is, by some measure, Beth’s most personal work to date, the result of a period of sustained reflection and change — “lots of goodbyes,” in Beth’s words. Farewells to family, to friends, even to her former self. These are songs from the mid-course of life, when looking ahead no longer yields what it used to, and looking back has a sudden, sharper focus.
