About

Saxophonist, flautist and composer, Jack Wyllie, is perhaps best known as the co-founder of Mercury Prize nominated wide-screen minimalists Portico Quartet and as 1/3 of revelatory, ambient improvising trio Szun Waves, but his distinctive voice on flute, soprano and tenor saxophones mark him out as a key figure in contemporary music. A keen collaborator whose projects have drawn on ambient, Fourth-world, electronica and modern classical influences, Eternal Spring is the first recording under his own name.

Eternal Spring, which features collaborators as diverse as erstwhile Portico Quartet band mates drummer Duncan Bellamy and bassist Milo Fitzpatrick, iconoclastic Polish artist Hania Rani, cellist Dobrawa Czocher and Australian mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean, draws inspiration from both Wyllie’s love of verdant nature but also the idea of a constant, flickering sense of hope and his compositions balance elevating melodies and cyclical rhythms while unashamedly reaching for something hopeful and beautiful.

Shimmering, rippling, budding and blossoming, though still appealingly familiar, it’s clear that with Eternal Spring Wyllie has crafted one of those rare records that reveal the magic all around us by removing us from our everyday circumstances. It is also Jack Wyllie’s first solo album. He’s proud to put his name to it.
