Next Stop is the brilliant follow-up to 2021’s Monument, a pulsing powerful four-tracker that also features a wistful, elegiac side and perhaps provides a coda to Monument.

‘Captured Time’ is a melodious and atmospheric tune that erupts out of layered synthesisers and strings. It’s contrast between melodic simplicity and textural density is what lets it push through to an elated, ecstatic conclusion as the band draw you into an emotional journey as only they can.

‘Next Stop’ is Portico Quartet at full power. Arguably the most rhythmically dense tune they have ever made. Its hypnotic groove driven by am off-kilter 7/8 drum and bass groove that ducks and dives with relentless intensity.

‘Youth’ is a deceptively simple tune, nostalgic in tone, It’s a paen to childhood and simpler days, with Wyllie’s wistful sax melody perfectly offset by the low-slung slow-mo hip-hop beat of Bellamy drums. But is the beautiful strings that really turn this tune into something special.
