Touch, one of the most anticipated albums of 2025, marks the return of Tortoise, who hadn’t released a record singe The Catastrophist came out in 2016. The quintet of Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker had already shared two brilliant tracks from the album, ‘Layered Presence’ and ‘Oganesson‘. As if we needed any more reasons to be excited for this release, Tortoise have shared a new single, ‘Works and Days’, a mesmerizing blend of percussive rhythms, entrancing guitar lines, and shimmering synths. The track comes with an accompanying video directed by Alee Peoples, adding an extra layer to this long-awaited return. Watch it below and watch out for the release of Touch on October 24th through International Anthem and Nonesuch Records.
