corto.alto - SOME SMALL FORTUNE corto.alto

For the best part of the last decade, Dumfries-born, Glasgow-raised Liam Shortall AKA corto.alto has been in his home studio in the Southside of the Scottish city, cooking up frenetic improvisations, diligently wonky productions and genre-spanning compositions with a close-knit group of local collaborators.

Now signed to Ninja Tune, the multi-instrumentalist producer, composer and performer announces SOME SMALL FORTUNE, which finds Shortall at his most expansive and unpredictably exciting. Working with his widest range of featured artists to date, he collaborates with the likes of Mick Jenkins, Vector, anaiis, Oscar Jerome, Jacob Alon, BINA., Terra Kin and Eriff, alongside his longtime Glaswegian band, drummer Graham Costello, Mercury Prize-nominated Fergus McCreadie, and saxophonist Mateusz Sobieski, to produce an electronic-, classical-, pop- and indie-influenced record that extends far beyond the confines of its meticulous making.
