Portico Quartet - ruins, 2011

"an album which grabs the zeitgeist but still stays true to its roots: callipygously shuffling, painlessly segueing, mingling the darkest rags ‘n’ bones of dubstep, d ‘n’b and off-kilter jazz, all the while interweaving heck loads of new-found textures and electronics. It’s a forward-thinking game-change which feels rich, warm and – quite simply – astounding”.
