This video premiered on Portishead's official website yesterday afternoon, but you had to sign up for their mailing list in order to see it. Some kind soul has posted it to YouTube. "Machine Gun" pops out when you listen to Third, with the mesmerizing industrial grind of its percussion riff, even as the plaintive wail of Beth Gibbons brings us back to more familiar territory. The video looks like something from one of Radiohead's webcasts-- a security camera may well have captured the crude blue-tinged images of the band performing. (via The Yellow Stereo)

[from Third; due 04/28/08 in the UK on Island and 04/29/08 in the U.S. and Mercury]
