I have admittedly not heard anything new from the Portico Quartet since their superb sophomore album
Isla. When PopMatters’ own Nathan Stevens warned us all of what happened when the group dropped the ‘Quartet’ from their name and released
Living Fields, I must have assumed it was a permanent change because I just plain forgot about them. With
Terrain, the joke’s on me. Not only did they reinstate the ‘Quartet’ to their name after their brief experiment in electronic music and go back to playing highly percussive minimalist jazz, but they have also taken significant steps in transcending their highly specified subgenre.
