Portico Quartet - Portico Quartet - Music & Performance - CD

2012 release from the British Jazz/World outfit. Portico Quartet still sound like nothing you ever heard before. The Mercury nominated East London based outfit's unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of Electronica, Ambient, Classical, World and Dance music as they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie, Radiohead and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter. But all underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their inimitable music into the future. Produced by the band themselves and brilliantly engineered by Greg Freeman at the Fish Market & Real World Studios, Portico Quartet's eponymous third album is the sound of a band that refuses to stand still.
