| Isla, the new album from Portico Quartet, is |
| another step forward. Producer Leckie has brought |
| an extra clarity to their arrangements, while the |
| musicians have made good use of the studio to |
| sculpt and enhance their sound with loop pedals, |
| real-time electronics and overdubs. Nevertheless, |
| 70 per cent of the album was performed live at |
| Abbey Road: this is a band who can deliver on the |
| promise of their recordings in concert; and vice |
| versa. Their collectively written compositions |
| evoke a universe of musical possibilities and |
| influences. 'Eventually, the sum of all our parts |
| - and what we've been listening to - comes out,' |
| says Wyllie. Yet Portico Quartet sound like |
| nobody else in jazz, World or contemporary music. |
| Each of the nine tracks on Isla has a distinct |
| mood and atmosphere, while remaining firmly |
| within their soundworld. From the churning |
| maelstrom of Clipper to the pounding pedal points |
| of Dawn Patrol; from the fragile ostinatos of |
| Line to the anthemic ensemble of the title track, |
| Isla is an album whose contents reveal fresh |
| nuances and facets on each listen. |
