Editor's review
Jeremy Millington describes his latest as "music for people who've seen and felt life a little," a caption borne out in the tunes. Detached youths need not apply: Misty acoustic guitars and ethereal harmonies run through a circumspect and quintessentially grown-up sort of pop.
Biography
Jeremy and Lorraine Millington have been playing and writing music in union since 1995, and formed The Portraits in 2005.
The first album under the "The Portraits" pseudonym is the result of two years' work and a number of life changing experiences. Recorded largely at their own studio in France, it nonetheless retains a uniquely British Isles slant in its at times humorous portrayal of bereavement. Keen to promote the "Music is Invisible" mantra which begins the album, they choose to remain visually elusive, preferring their listeners instead to identify with the content and cultural and age references of their lyrics and melodies. "We couldn't have created this album any sooner" says singer and writer Jeremy. "This is music for people who've seen and felt life a little."
