Tortoise

Tortoise stands among the most influential and groundbreaking bands of the past forty years. Formed in Chicago in 1990, they redefined post-rock with a singular blend of jazz, krautrock, electronica, dub, hip-hop, and experimental grooves. With seven albums – including classics like Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996), TNT (1998), and Standards (2001) – they have built a timeless, boundless sound that continues to surprise. As Resident Advisor puts it: “Not just pioneers, but exemplary leaders.” After nine years of silence, they now return with their first new music, released on International Anthem & Nonesuch Records.
