Monument is one of Portico Quartets most accessible, direct records to date. If Terrain addressed the darker side of how Duncan Bellamy and Jack Wyllie made sense of the pandemic, then Monument resonates as an ode to better times. If not quite a dance record, it nonetheless pulses with an energy, radiance and a scalpel sharp focus. Jack Wyllie explains: Its possibly our most direct album to date. Its melodic, structured and theres an economy to it that is very efficient. Theres not much searching or wastage within the music itself, it is all finalised ideas, precisely sculpted and presented as a polished artefact. Bellamy expands Monument sits somewhere between our albums Portico Quartet and Art in the Age of Automation. It has perhaps a more overtly electronic edge to its sound there are more synthesisers and electronic elements than we have used before and the music is often streamlined and rhythmic.
