I do not know the work of Tortoise. Though I know them by repute. They have a new album out. It's called Touch and has a large venomous looking scorpion on the front cover who you wouldn't really allow to touch you.
Ut's their first album for nine years , Pitchfork describes it as 'strangely moving') Strangely because it's largely instrumental and like Kraftwerk sounds like a set of machines playing themselves. It's no great disclosure to suggest that this can be an extremely moving experience. The ghost in the machine.
I need to listen to this! I loved them in the 90s, they introduced me to post-rock, but I haven't listened much since.
