Out of Season is a studio album by Portishead frontwoman Beth Gibbons and former Talk Talk bassist Paul Webb (under the pseudonym Rustin Man). It was released on 28 October 2002 in the United Kingdom and on 7 October 2003 in the United States. Out of Season is largely a folk album with jazz leanings, with Gibbons and Webb drawing more directly on the influences of Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Nick Drake, at which Portishead's work in trip hop only hinted. Out of Season also features contributions from Gibbons' fellow Portishead bandmate Adrian Utley and Webb's former bandmate Lee Harris. The first track of the album, "Mysteries", appears on the original soundtrack of the French movie Les Poupées Russes (The Russian Dolls) and in Wim Wenders' Palermo Shooting from 2008. The album achieved a silver certification from the BPI.
All songs written by Beth Gibbons and Paul Webb, except where noted otherwise.
The album charted in some countries, peaking at #28 in the UK, #13 in Germany, #36 in Switzerland, #54 in Austria, #19 in France, #77 in Netherlands, #6 in Norway and #39 in Denmark. "Tom the Model" was released as a single on March 3, 2003, and reached #70 in the UK. A video for the song was directed by Chris Bran and it featured Gibbons performing in front of a theatre crowd.
