She's a solo artist now, right?

New band albums are rumored and hinted-at, from time to time, by Geoff Barrow, though it seems hard to say if there will be another.

Bear in mind Beth made "Out of Season" apart from Portishead several years before the release of "Third." I wouldn't think her recent solo work indicates a split.
