Influential sonic pioneers, Tortoise are set to release their sixth studio album on 22nd June. Entitled Beacons of Ancestorship, it is their first full length of new material in five years. And it sounds like nothing else Tortoise have produced… it’s a mad, rollercoaster ride of influences and noises.
As a taster of this new record, the band and the lovely people at Thrill Jockey have allowed us to share a track from the album called ‘Prepare your Coffin’. You can download it here.
Look out for a full review of the album nearer its release date…

I can’t make up my mind about the new album – it’s so abstract at times as to be nearly opaque…
What I found was that I needed to really LISTEN to it… I couldn’t just put it on in the background. There’s just so much going on, it needs your full attention.
