October 6 - Glory Box

I can't talk about British music from the 90s without mentioning Portishead again, and today I will play the song that first opened my ears to them: Glory Box. It samples Ike's Rap II by Isaak Hayes, but what really stands out to me here is Beth Gibbon's vocals, hauntingly beautiful as always, and Adrian Utley's dissonant guitar, cutting through the beauty and creating a "dangerous" contrast. No more words are needed. Just enjoy.
