In a new interview with the magazine GuardianThe musician and film producer answered fan questions, including how his band is the “unsung hero of the '90s sex playlist.”
“I've heard of people going out, doing ecstasy, coming back, smoking joints and betting Fool “,” Barrow said of Portishead's landmark 1994 trip-hop album, The 30th anniversary of which the band members celebrated the occasion in different ways last year. “If you just listened to the music, you'd be like, 'This is really cool, man.' However, the worst thing you can say about my music is that it's cold! It makes me want to vomit.”
He continued: “They only listen to Beth. [Gibbons]the voice, not what she says, and that makes a huge difference. I've had people say, “My daughter was made for your music,” and I'd say, “Fuck off.” I can’t think of anything worse than making love.”
Maybe Barrow should have paused before calling the song “Glory Box” then? Normally I wouldn't use the term “self-fulfilling prophecy” in this context (too simple), but it gave me a reason.
