Nov 27, 2019Whilst no Portico Quartet album has still to this day succeeded the debut in quality, this is their most adventurous and sonically different release to date. Continuing with the more electronic experimentation of their last album, 2012's self titled release, the band improve upon that sound with a futuristic, cityscape atmosphere and some of their most powerful and engaging instrumentals to date.

Aug 30, 2017By focussing in on softer deployments of electronics and more subtle processing, and staying resolutely in an ambient soundworld, Art In The Age Of Automation does feel comparatively safe; well turned-out and nicely polished, but generally risk-free in execution.

Aug 29, 2017Their music is always beautifully rendered, and there is plenty of interest for the listener, but the hang, their most distinctive weapon, feels underused, its tones not bought into the foreground as much as might be expected.

Aug 24, 2017Art In The Age Of Automation finds the group expanding their sound to accommodate strings and horns alongside their core armoury of drums, bass, keys, sax and hang, the latter’s steel-pan timbres pleasingly sprinkled over the slow drift of “Objects To Place In A Tomb” and prominently featured in “Beyond Dialogue”, two of the better tracks.
