Trip Hop is a style of music that doesn't usually speak to me. But maybe I need to reconsider that. Music with the level of energy that is in today's song is the sort of thing I listen to in the evenings, but if I'm reading, I don't want lyrics, and have settled on various types of jazz. Mostly.
Trip-hop, genre of atmospheric down-tempo music, influenced by movie sound tracks, 1970s funk, and cool jazz and usually created using samples.
The name of the genre, Trip Hop, was coined by the UK press and grabbed by the people running the UK music industry, which is why it is fairly meaningless as an actual description of the music. In other words it is the creation of two groups of people least likely to know anything about anything. Except what they saw 2 minutes ago.
Portishead is more of a cross between Trip Hop and Alternative Rock. I don't hate their music, and I do like some of it. I'm always surprised when it pops up in one of my music streaming services.
This song is "Roads" by Portishead from their 1994 album Dummy.
