Portishead - Sour Times

"Sour Times" is a track by Portishead, from their 1994 debut album Dummy. It’s a defining song of the trip-hop genre, blending haunting vocals by Beth Gibbons with Geoff Barrow’s moody production and Adrian Utley’s jazzy guitar riffs. The song samples Lalo Schifrin’s "Danube Incident" and Smokey Brooks’ "Spin-It Jig," creating its signature eerie, cinematic vibe. Lyrically, it explores themes of heartbreak and disillusionment, with Gibbons’ raw delivery amplifying the emotional weight. The track was a breakthrough, hitting the UK charts and gaining wider exposure through its use in TV and film.
