Portico Quartet is the third studio album by the British group Portico Quartet, an instrumental band from London, UK., released in January 2012. Known for their use of the hang, a modern percussion instrument, this album saw a notable development in style, incorporating significant use of electronics and looping compared to the acoustic sound of their first two albums Knee-Deep in the North Sea and Isla.
The group had already been exploring use of electronics, live samples and looping when touring their second album Isla in 2010.[11] This was accelerated when founding member Nick Mulvey left in 2011 to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter.[12] Without their main hang player, the group turned to sampling the hang, as well as using a hybrid mix of electronic and acoustic drums, and electronically treated and looped bowed bass and saxophone lines.
