“If Hiatus Kaiyote and Masters At Work had a child, corto.alto would be it – the future is now!” – Gilles Peterson
It’s been an intense but rewarding few years for Liam Shortall, better known as the multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and performer corto.alto, (the stage name a nod to his Irish-Spanish heritage, translating as “short.tall” in Spanish). The release of his debut album Bad With Names saw him nominated for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize – alongside fellow Scot and now label-mate Barry Can’t Swim and the likes of Charli XCX, Ghetts, Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Nia Archives, CMAT and more – and saw him booked to play hundreds of shows across the world, including high-profile festival performances and a sold-out UK tour that featured his own personally curated 2000-capacity “Made In Glasgow” mini-festival at the city’s legendary Barrowlands Ballroom venue. Now making its Seattle debut, the collective formed by Liam Shortall (trombone, bass guitar, effects) deploys explosive brass textures, electronic beats, and dancefloor energy, showcasing Shortfall’s natural ear for cross-pollination of styles.
