Naciente Quartet were a South London outfit based within the Utrophia art-music collective in Greenwich.
I managed to see them live on one spectacular occasion at 93 Feet East and also picked up a couple of their self-produced EPs. Alas, though, I think they are now no more with no activity to speak of for a couple of years.
'One Two Three Four' showcases their blend of thoughtful post-rock with elements of jazz, systems music and some gorgeous playing. It canters along on some solid but expressive drumming and a sweet flow of bass.
Expressive guitar work is entwined creating an evolving, moody instrumental upon which subtle Tortoise vibraphone is added and bright, almost hi-life, lead guitar can radiate without being showy.
A great lost band and definitely worth fans of Fridge, the more thoughtful, intricate side of Foals and Tortoise checking their shit out.

I like your site. Though the pictures you use scare me. Really scare me. In an Eraserhead sort of way. I'm just sayin'.
