"Beth Gibbons takes a break from her Portishead duties to team up with former Talk Talk man Paul Webb (alias Rustin Man) to make what will surely become one of the albums of 2002. 'Out Of Season' is a beautiful album, in equal parts melancholic, inspiring, dark and heart rendering. Largely acoustic and tinged with romanticism, 'Out Of Season' is another reminder that Beth Gibbons possesses one of the greatest and most evocative voices of our generation."
