Limitation can be a creative force in a world where anything is possible, and for a young Liam Shortall, that pool of influence & opportunity was as diverse as any. Born in Glasgow and surrounded by music from a young age, he gravitated initially towards instrumental music, picking up the trombone, learning his jazz chops, and listening to the big band, blues, and ska sounds of his family home. A tendency to self-deprecation is a way that Glasgow has impressed itself on Shortall, albeit one which at times tipped over into self-criticism. Nowhere is that struggle & vulnerability more present than on his debut album Bad With Names (Shortlisted for the 2024 Mercury Prize). As much as Bad With Names showcases some of Glasgow’s finest, it's also the most complete statement of the corto.alto sound to date, a riptide demonstration of his multi-instrumental abilities, punchy improvisation and subtle electronic production that has stitched it all back together again.

This masterpiece is always relevant!
Need this sax solo cause I love it, it' crazy
Brain tickled
I very rarely get captivated by a band but these guys really impress me and I listen to their music quite regularly . Innovative and interesting.
This is genuinely amazing. Already loved the song, and the animation is excellent. I know how much work goes into that style!!
I'm all about the glitchy visuals.
I really love the way that you utilise samples and other elements of electronica/hip-hop with your more 'traditional' instrumentation. I can feel the echoes of Prefuse 73, Hudson Mohawke, Dilla... Amazing tunes, incredible technical ability, awesome taste. P.s. I think we had something of a conversation on the Sunday night at Kelburn this year about a mini disco ball that I was clinging onto like a sacred object. I am not sure I made much sense, for... reasons I am sure you can appreciate. I apologise for my apparent insanity!!
Love this. Glad to have found the TH-cams side of corto.alto. Following along!
