This video premiered on Portishead’s official website yesterday afternoon, but you had to sign up for their mailing list in order to see it. Some kind soul has posted it to YouTube. “Machine Gun” pops out when you listen to Third, with the mesmerizing industrial grind of its percussion riff, even as the plaintive wail of Beth Gibbons brings us back to more familiar territory.

Read more about this video at Pitchfork, or a full review of their upcoming album at Memoirs on a rainy day.

So now you know why — and because of plenty of other projects — we are a bit quiet for the moment.

Youtube — qui va bientôt dépasser les 75 millions de clips hébergés — “croque” chaque mois à lui seul 27 pétaoctets (27 millions de gigaoctets), soit l’équivalent du trafic total du réseau Internet pour l’an 2000.

This song is part of the last Erik Truffaz’s album called Arkhangelsk (Blue Note). Truffaz is a Swiss-born French contemporary jazz trumpeter, infusing elements of hip hop, rock and roll and dance music into compositions.

He gained international attention for his second album on Blue Note, The Dawn, that had been produced together with Pat Muller, Marcello Giuliani and Mark Erbetta. Since then they produced many Blue Note albums together such as Bending New Corners, which became a Silver Album in France. The last Truffaz release Arkhangelsk is a mixture between pop songs, french songs, and Jazz-groove.

If you like Truffaz I hardly recommend you to watch this video. It’s Murcof, Erik Truffaz and Talvin Singh live at the 2006 Montreux Jazz festival playing Murcof’s track called Rios (from the album Remembranza).
