Biscuit

Portishead

“Biscuit” is a haunting piece of music about being trapped by one’s own feelings and yearnings.

Many reviews of Dummy highlight the creative use of samples from the string section and vocals of Johnnie Ray’s “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again”, a 1950s bubblegum pop song. Slowed down to 16bpm, it turns into an eerie refrain about regret.
