Portico Quartet step out on a UK tour with their third, self-titled album, due for release on Real World Records in January 2012. Fiery saxophone and ethereal hang blend with dubstepbeats, electronic sparks and a very modern kind of jazz improvisation in a translucent mix that can both mesmerise and thrill.
'They feed on Steve Reich mathematics, Radiohead dread, African desert grooves and ECM northern melancholy to travel into a new, chiming, cavernous sound-world that is exotic and hypnotic.' Mojo
'Genuinely innovative…there isn’t a band that sounds remotely like them.' The Observer
Support comes from Manchester based DJ/Trumpeter Matthew Halsall, unveiling his new trio with keyboardist Taz Modi (Submotion Orchestra) and drummer Luke Flowers (Cinematic Orchestra). Expect electronica tinged re-imaginings of Matthew's original compositions and unlikely covers of modern electronic music classics.
