A powerful, graceful album.»

rough trade shops are really pleased to have an exclusive 5 track bonus cd from the incredible portico quartet who have just delivered maybe their finest record yet and 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 and dance music as they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of burial, mount kimbie 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.
