After a nine-year hiatus, legendary post-rock pioneers Tortoise return with Touch, their first new album since 2016. Created across multiple studios in Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago, this release marks a significant milestone as the band's first long-distance collaboration, with members scattered across different cities but still committed to crafting music together in person.
Touch showcases the quintet's signature blend of electronic textures and rock instrumentation, reassembled in fascinating new configurations. From the throbbing synthesizers and reverberating bell tones of "Layered Presence" to the minimal wave synths that evolve into lush romanticism on "Promenade à deux," these ten instrumental dramas demonstrate why Tortoise remains essential listening for fans of innovative post-rock and electronic music.
