Rejoice, for Tortoise<\/a> are back with their first new music in nine years! The legendary Chicago-based quintet of Jeff Parker, Dan Bitney, Douglas McCombs, John Herndon, and John McEntire unveiled today a new single, ‘Oganesson’, marking the first new music since their album The Catastrophist<\/em> came out in 2016. Long revered as one of the most innovative and influential groups since their formation in the early 1990s, and undoubtedly trailblazers of the “post-rock” movement, Tortoise have carved a unique path through the landscape of contemporary music. ‘Oganesson’ sets the stage to a forthcoming album through International Anthem & Nonesuch Records, though details are still under wraps.<\/p>\n

Exhilarating and dynamic, ‘Oganesson’ is a powerful reminder of Tortoise’s enduring ability to innovate, and we can\u2019t wait for more stuff like this to be sprung upon us. Rob Shaw made an animated video to accompany the track and you can watch it below.<\/p>\n
