Portishead is the second studio album by English band Portishead, released on September 16, 1997 by Go! Discs.
With Portishead, the band chose to eschew sampling other records, which had a defining feature of their debut album Dummy. Instead, they created original pieces which they weaved into the songs, resulting in a more textured sound. The only song to employ samples was "Only You", which incorporates elements of Ken Thorne's "Inspector Clouseau" and The Pharcyde's "She Said".
