For fans of: Sophisticated post-jazz

What they say: It sounds less like a jazz album than anything the group has recorded, but in stepping away from a method they never seemed comfortable with, Portico have found a contemporary sound to thrill their fans and attract new listeners. - The Guardian

What we say: Peter Gabriel's Real World label reissues the first of the post-jazz explorations by Portico Quartet. Think a meeting of Steve Reich, melodic post-bop horn playing, and a very krautrock inspired approach to drumming, and you'd be in the right territory. What Tortoise's "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" was to indie rock, this is to jazz. -Jefferson
