PORTISHEAD: SOUR TIMES Single Album (1994)

**PORTISHEAD: SOUR TIMES** Single Album cover

Sour Times is a song by English trip hop group Portishead, from their debut album, Dummy (1994). It was written by all three members of the band and released as a single by Go! Beat Records in August 1, 1994, accompanied by three bonus tracks: It’s a Fire, Pedestal, and Theme from To Kill a Dead Man. The song uses a sample from Argentine composer Lalo Schifrin‘s Danube Incident, from the 1967 album, More Mission: Impossible. Portishead sped up the sample to a desired tempo which took Schifrin‘s arrangement up nearly a semitone, giving the song a dissonant kind of “hip-hop tuning”.
