One-upping Doves’ first new material in four years, Tortoise is back with their first new music in FIVE years. Their upcoming CD, titled Beacons Of Ancestorship, will drop June 23, on Thrill Jockey, and will have many electronic maestros salivating. Tortoise have made a name for themselves in the electro-rock genre over the years with their unique brand of processed music. They are the influences for several of today’s electro artists and finally we’re able to hear their own stuff instead of the “influencees”.
Listen to the first two tracks off Beacons and enjoy a couple other Tortoise tunes:
Tortoise – “High Class Slim Came Floatin’ In” [MP3] (new!)
Tortoise – “Prepare Your Coffin” [MP3] (new!)
Tortoise – “Seneca” [MP3 removed] (from Standards)
Tortoise – “Goriri” [MP3 removed] (from Millions Now Living Will Never Die)
good sounds!! 320!
