On the subject of the horizon, Portishead announced in an interview to the BBC 6 Music they are in the process of writing a new album, that was well on its way to completion.

Portishead member Geoff Barrow said "We're actually into it as we speak. We took some time off for Christmas, but generally we're doing another record." He also commented on the rumoured break-up of the band stating. "We've just had our heads down really, we've never actually broken up, or parted, or whatever. So for us it just seems, even though we haven't played for years, we still see each other and write - we just haven't released a record for a long time."
