MojoApr 22, 2015Living Fields is no instant hit, but the twilight world you're eventually drawn into is difficult to leave. [May 2015, p.98]
-
Apr 14, 2015Living Fields achieves that rare feat of giving electronic music a beating heart, and is without a doubt one of the best records of its class this year.... And although Portico as musicians are still pushing themselves to new places, they’re not quite pushing the listener as far as they used to.
-
Apr 14, 2015A notable and accessible triumph.
-
Apr 14, 2015This is a loud, confident album, best enjoyed at high volume.
-
Apr 14, 2015Living Fields is rich in its intimacy, enrobed in an ambiance that feels like a continuous pull towards a soundscape designed for dreams.
-
Apr 14, 2015Portico have certainly succeeded in reinventing themselves, and they sound like a completely different band to Portico Quartet. The flipside of this is less positive: with their synth textures and post-dubstep influences, they don’t sound all that different from much of the pop music being made at the moment.
-
Apr 14, 2015Portico still holds appeal for ambient music fans and those who embrace the fringe, along with Portico Quartet regulars who might find this trio's temperament a bit different, but the musical textures will be familiar.

UncutApr 14, 2015Generally these doomy, comatose soundscapes all sound drearily similar. [May 2015, p.78]
-
Apr 27, 2015These songs are ethereal to a fault, unable to gain a foothold in memory. If Portico continue down this path, they’re liable to become faceless where they were once exhilarating.

Q MagazineApr 14, 2015Portico are definitely onto something here, but just haven't fully realised it yet.[May 2015, p.109]
