1. Nobody loves this tune.

It is sad but true.

"Sour Times" is a single by Portishead, originally released on 1 August 1994 and re-released on 10 April 1995.

The original 1994 release initially reached only #57 in the UK, but after the success of "Glory Box" in 1995, it was re-released and peaked at #13 on the UK singles chart in April, as "Glory Box" had done in January of the same year. The promotional video is made of footage from their short film To Kill a Dead Man.

The song uses a sample from Lalo Schifrin's "Danube incident".

"Sour Times" was covered by Bryn Christopher on his album My World. The Blank Theory also covered "Sour Times" on their Beyond the Calm of the Corridor release, which was featured in the trailer for Wicker Park.

I could see their music used to great effect in film. If I was a director I certainly would.

6. You're welcome!

I don't know many fans of Portishead. Their music many be a bit to melancholy for most, but it worth a listen. :hi:
