The third single from their genre-defining debut album Dummy, ‘Glory Box’, is probably now British trip-hop band Portishead’s best-known song. The track’s sultry Isaac Hayes sample, wryly off-beat spoken verses that give way to Beth Gibbons’ reaching vocals, and psychedelic guitar turns have made it a standard bearer for anti-Britpop cool.
Nothing puts all the cards that Dummy brought to the table on full display quite like ‘Glory Box’. The song rightly has its fair share of famous admirers, from Fuck Buttons to Arctic Monkeys, whose most recent album, The Car, is littered with musical references to Dummy.
“Glory Box”, the final track on Portishead’s Dummy, is one of their most well known songs, most notably for its unique use of “Ike’s Rap II” by Isaac Hayes, a popular sample in trip-hop and hip-hop.
The song tells a haunting narrative of romance and womanhood, featuring searing guitars and eery vocals. It’s a grand finish to the album and marks one of the highest points in the group’s career.
