Nice picks. I would also recommend Adrian Younge, such a great artist. The man is very cultured in music and I also like him as a “DJ”, although I would call him a Selector.
Here is a list of some songs that give me similar feelings that Portishead does. They are not exactly like Portishead, but IMHO definitely worth a try.
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy, Massive Attack - Teardrop, Röyksopp & Alison Goldfrapp - Impossible, Röyksopp - Vision One, Saint Saviour - This Ain’t No Hymn
Massive Attack is closer to Portishead, but they don’t have female vocals on all of their songs. Röyksopp goes to a bit different direction but they have many songs with different female vocalists that might be something you like.
Massive Attack ft Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) - Paradise Circus
Massive Attack ft Hope Sandoval - The Spoils
Might also try Zero 7. Their earlier albums feature vocals from Sia and Sophie Barker, as well as José González. All three have smooth evocative voices.
Sia: Destiny, This Fine Social Scene, The Pageant of the Bizarre, Speed Dial No. 2
Sophie Barker: Spinning, Passing By, In the Waiting Line, In Time
José González: Futures, Left Behind, Today, Crosses
These were all among my favorite songs almost two decades ago, when Trip Hop was at its height. Some I would still consider to be pinnacles of music.
If you like her voice, check out The Swans and Dot Allison.
Chose The Swans album “To Be Kind” as my first thing to try of all these recs. Liking it so far.
Road trip needs albums haha. Will check everyone’s recs. Thanks folks!
Ex:Re, Agnes Odell, London Grammar, Kaleida, Annie Lennox
Moloko (and Róisín Murphy’s older solo stuff)
Is there a specific element or specific songs that seem to stick better than others? Or are you just looking for general electronic trip hop artists?
Mazzy Star, or more specifically the tracks Hope Sandoval did with Massive Attack.
Maybe you’d like Zola Blood.
TENDER seems up your alley as well.
if you like some of the weirder stuff, check out Beak> which features Geoff Barrow of Portishead.
Thanks for the rec! Listened to two albums, “>>>>>” and Kosmic Music.
Really liked the first one despite the lack of Beth Gibbons’ iconic vocals.
The second one felt like a concept album, but I still listened to it three times on loop – I have a soft spot for SpaceMusic (so much so that I moderate the quiet !SpaceMusic@lemmy.ca ) and was completely caught unaware by this album existing. So, thanks!
glad you liked it, and thanks for the new com rec!
Morcheeba, Hooverphonic, maybe earlier Goldfrapp.
Assume for a second that I listen to it not because it is trip hop, but because of Beth Gibbons’ vocals. Would you change that recommendation?
In that case maybe you’d enjoy some female indie singers? Try Big Thief, This is the Kit, St South, Phoebe Bridgers.
I’d still say morcheeba fits the bill though. Bit more left field but, Dido?
If you’re in the mood for something not trip hop but with a similar vocal style you might enjoy Lamb - later stuff is probably most similar, earlier stuff is a bit more esoteric.
