简介:
Portico Quartet are among the best bands in Britain. A bold claim we know but through a career which has now reached its sixth album with the release of the splendid 'Terrain' the band have been both dazzlingly creative and remarkably consistent.
Once fairly squarely a ‘jazz’ band, these days Portico Quartet ally their heritage with an increasingly minimalist and ambient tendency which means that Terrain’s three tracks, clocking in at 39 minutes give the band an opportunity to really stretch out and provide a tour de force exemplar of everything which makes them so special.
And it continues this way throughout the album. ‘II’ is built on a single, insistent piano figure and rolling drums. It is perhaps the most ‘driving’ of the three movements here, but it maintains the overall feel of calm which pervades the record. Even as the album draws to a close with rolling toms, a caterwauling saxophone melody and pulsing cymbal crashes, a peaceful control is exuded.
'Terrain' gives us a band at the peak of its powers, confident in its ability, willing to take risks but always delivering. This may be Portico Quartet’s finest album yet.
