SOME SMALL FORTUNE The new album by corto.alto, designed by Glasgow multi-instrumentalist Liam Shortall, marks an impressive debut under the Ninja Tune label. After the success of his debut album Bad with Names, nominated for the 2024 Mercury Prize, Shortall returns with a work that confirms and amplifies his talent. SOME SMALL FORTUNE is a sound journey that intertwines electronics, classical, pop and indie, creating a rich and multifaceted musical landscape. Each track seems to go beyond the boundaries of its own construction, offering an experience as intimate as it is ambitious. The album shows a maniacal attention to detail, but at the same time maintains a freshness and spontaneity that captivate the listener. Shortall’s musical training and cultural roots, including the Spanish influences suggested by his pseudonym, clearly emerge in a sound that blends elegance and experimentation. SOME SMALL FORTUNE is not only a confirmation of the short talent, but also a decisive step towards a broader artistic horizon, destined to leave a mark on the contemporary scene.
