The Portraits' sound, though many say easy on the ears, is one we, the band, struggle to define. However, thanks to the wonders of music reviews websites, hundreds of listeners have sent in the recipe:
1) Boil one set of Ben Folds or Damon Albarn vocals
2) Gently stir in multi-layered Mamas and Papas harmonies to taste
3) Reduce the heat
4) Pour in a generous helping of McCartney and Brian Wilson tunes, and a little Yusuf for flavour
5) Fold in one whole Beautiful South greatest hits CD
6) Allow to cool, and serve immediately with some typically English lyrical irony.
The band is built around a songwriting partnership we set up ten years ago, based currently in Western Europe. After a decade writing and performing together, the release of our new 11-track CD album "Kin" in the Autumn (Fall) of 2006 follows a number of life changing events, and reflects in something of a "stiff upper lip British way" on a number of aspects of family, notably of loss, of using humour to come through bereavement, and of making the most of the time you have.
Sounds heavy? Sonically, you might be surprised...

I hope everything has been going well with you over these months. One of your songs came up on my iTunes today, and I was thinking how long it had been since I stopped by to say hi. I really like your new song and I've downloaded it. I look forward to hearing more.
Hi Lorraine and Jeremy, I just wanted to say hello and wish you a good and sunny week, hopefully much better than we have here in Sweden. I listened to Bitter, the very sweet song, and downloaded it. It mostly fails when I try to download on MySpace but this song is safely and complete in my music file. Thanks very much for this possibility. All best wishes to you, Ami
Thanks Jeremy for your kind words...enjoyed listening to your songs...liked 'harry edwards'..reminded me a bit of Colourfield with Terry Hall...all the best with everything..
Bonjour Lorraine et Jérémy, oui, je suis rochelaise, j'habite à 10 min du centre ville et je travaille à coté de la place de verdun ! J'ai eu le plaisir de séjourner à Galway en mars dernier, c'est une ville magnifique, j'ai aussi visité les iles d'aran.... jouez-vous prochainement à la rochelle ? take care, karyn
Hi Jeremy and Lorraine, Time goes fast, many friends are coming and going on MySpace but some of them stay very deep in my mind. You do, for your songs, but also very much for the comment Jeremy wrote on my side months ago, unforgettable words, some words about showing feelings.
Your song Bitter sounds very good, a sweet tune, the words are serious, words which are really worth considering. I like to be back on your site and I send you my best regards from Sweden, Ami
Hi, i've just got your message on my phone, i'm at work which is why i didn't answer. The boss is watching me very carefully at the moment!! I can answer anytime after 6 any day if you want to call back. It would be great to finally meet up, i would love to meet some English speaking people here, it gets quite tiring just speaking French all the time!!
Hope to speak to you soon and sorry again that i missed your call.
No i didn't receive the invitation as i've moved house! I'm now living by the Canal de Rompsay. I came back from Ireland last thursday so that was a shame, i would have loved to come. Next time!! Hope you've had a good summer even though the weather has been a bit rubbish.
Hi Guys!
Just thought I'd pop up and say hello. The cd you sent is brilliant and you have the approval of a streetwise 10 year old. She's borrowed it to play in her room.
Hi Hows you,.
Hows things going with the music and tours.
Sorry ive not been intouch, been quite busy.
Take care and catch up again soon, charley xxxxx
