           |  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.                 |
