<p>Their new electronic driven album Monument shows the band at their most direct, with a streamlined, rhythmic sound. Full of precisely sculpted ideas combining human touch with electronic efficiency, ‘Monument’ displays the acclaimed widescreen minimalists at their best.</p>

Having been remixed by john leckie and also with 3 extra tracks and with a digital download code too. portico quartet are four young musicians from south london who sound like nothing you've ever heard before. living and playing together they describe their ethos as like an indie band that plays post-jazz, and their unique sound has won them fans from gilles peterson to radio 4 and notion to bbc music magazine, and made them time out's jazz, folk and world music album of the year. their 2008 mercury nominated debut 'knee-deep in the north sea' is a cross between jazz and modern classical. it's mellifluous, exuberant and jaunty, full of catchy tunes and strong hooks - highly recommended.
