Looking forward to Echoes (November 13), though by others' accounts I've already heard the choice bits.

Trip-hop hangs heavy over 2013 (CREEP, Emika, London Grammar, and arguably the Jesse Ware and Lana del Rey outings from last year).

insert much of the Maya Jane Coles album in that list, too.

It's great, isn't it? A shame it took this long for "acid jazz," shitty comps with mushrooms on the cover, Morcheeba and Sneaker Pimps to fall by the wayside, but ever since the long overdue critical reappraisal of Portishead it seems like it's been picking up steam again.

I'd also add FKA twigs and the Young Echo album to that list. Emika's latest doesn't strike me as quite as trip-hoppy as her debut, but it's interesting that both "Professional" and Portishead's "Machine Gun" are adjacent enough to the mainstream to be sampled on the (hugely problematic) Weeknd album. (I know the Portishead track was reconstructed, but it's such a weaksauce Vanilla Ice thing to do that I'm counting it as functionally a sample).

I'll have to check out London Grammar, too- that one's new to me.

This is my favorite use of a Portishead sample:

hahaha YES

Five ghost stars for finally finding another Bobby Digital fan!

(also acceptable: anything from the self-titled second Portishead album. Reading about their working method on that album as a kid blew my fragile little mind)
