Description
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 features to date,
collaborating with the likes of Mick Jenkins, Vector, anaiis, Oscar Jerome, Jacob Alon (Brit
Award winner), 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.
