Looking for groups similar to 4Hero and Portishead

[Arkitech]

I LOVE the music that these guys put out, especially 4Hero. Anyone know of some other groups that are similar to them?

trip-hop rocks, but is difficult to find quality stuff. bjork has a few songs that are portishead reminiscent but thats the closest i can think of

 

[Bobomatic]

off the top of my head:
Lamb, Morcheeba's earlier stuff, Frou Frou, Lunasect, Massive Attack, Tricky

 

[zerocomm]

massive attack= good

 

[Atrail]

Mandalay

 

[Fausto]

What Bobomatic said.

Also check out Sneaker Pimps, DJ Shadow (some of his stuff) and DJ Krush (again, some of his stuff fits this bill. Check out an album called Ki Oku in particular.)

 

[thomsbrain]

might check out sigor ros, too.

 

[SpongeBob]

Also check out Babyfox, Beth Orton (her album Trailer Park is most like Portishead.) Strange Cargo, Olive, Emiliana Torrini, Alphawezen and Nuyorican Soul.
