Portico Quartet - Portico Quartet
Monday 23 January 2012
An endlessly absorbing third LP from the inspired jazz outfit.
Portico Quartet remain famous for two things: busking lucratively on London’s South Bank and employing the lilting gong of their UFO-like hang drum. But things have changed for this four-piece. The band’s wages are no longer thrown into open instrument cases, thanks in part to a profile-raising Mercury nomination in 2008 for their debut Knee-Deep in the North Sea. And last year their man on the hang departed: "I’ve always felt like a fraud at the hang drum," said Nick Mulvey.

Efterklang - Parades
Thursday 12 August 2010
Efterklang’s finest LP to date reissued with bonus EP.
Re-released alongside their 2004 debut LP Tripper, Parades is (to these ears) Efterklang’s finest album to date, a superbly sequenced suite that entrances and delights several listens after first contact. The record earned itself plenty of praise upon its original 2007 release, but deserves this fresh lease of life in the wake of its makers’ third collection, Magic Chairs, which came out in February 2010.
