Portishead are a band from Bristol, United Kingdom, named after a small coastal town twelve miles west of said musical hotbed, in North Somerset. They were initially known for their use of jazz samples and some hip-hop beats along with various synth sounds and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of singer Beth Gibbons. Their current sound drops the samples in favour of a harder, more abrasive edge, but retains Gibbons' vocals.
The band was formed in 1991 (then later split in 2005 reforming in 2008)

Butterflies in the Light
Our last release... Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Tonight I take you my friends,
Into my magical spiral.
You'll feel like never before
the love inside you.
Tonight the light is brighter.
Passengers without limits.
Butterflies in the light.
Tonight we caress the angels.
C for chimera.
Insidious sweetness
that creeps up on us.
Like a lethal lie
Come with me my friends.
I promise you, we will soar.
Dive with me my friends.
Tonight the light is brighter.
Passengers without limits.
Butterflies in the light.
Tonight we caress the angels.
Then the years go by
and they all look the same.
Silence and secrecy
have shaped our escape.
Our fall.
Tonight the light is brighter.
Passengers without limits.
Butterflies in the light.
Tonight we caress the angels.more
