Chris Montague is a British guitarist and composer recognized for his distinct approach to the instrument and his contributions to both the jazz and contemporary music scenes. His most notable project "Warmer Than Blood" showcases his innovative sound, blending introspective compositions with intricate guitar work, bolstered by the talents of his collaborators, which often include some of the UK's most creative musicians. Montague's explorations often lead to genre-defying music, characterized by a seamless melding of angular rhythms, emotional depth, and melodic clarity.

Throughout his career, Montague has been involved in various collaborations and ensembles, making a name for himself as a versatile and imaginative artist. His body of work reflects a compelling journey through contemporary music, with a continuous thread of evolution that can be traced across his releases such as "Ex Voto" and "Rendered", to the texturally rich "Heksen Romance" and beyond. Montague's ability to integrate electronic elements into his music is further exemplified through projects like "The Internet (feat. Benny Greb) [Kit Downes Remix]" which expands his sonic palette, securing his reputation as an influential voice in modern guitar music.
