==Album information==
Building on the promise of their earlier EP, ''Numb'', ''Dummy'' helped to cement the reputation of Bristol as the capital of trip hop, a nascent genre which was then often referred to simply as "the Bristol sound". The cover is a still image of vocalist Beth Gibbons taken from ''To Kill a Dead Man''—the short film that the band created—for which the self-composed soundtrack earned the band its record contract.
The album spawned two singles in addition to the already released "Numb": "Glory Box", which reached No. 13 in the UK singles chart; and "Sour Times", which reached the same position on re-release in 1995. "Sour Times" achieved moderate success in the US, reaching peak positions of No. 5 and No. 53 on the Alternative and Hot 100 Billboard charts, respectively, in February 1995. On 3 December 2008, Universal Music Japan released ''Dummy'' and ''Portishead'' as limited SHM-CD versions.
