Tortoise Kick Off North American Tour This Week in Support of the Catastrophist March 7, 2016 For Immediate Release TORTOISE KICK OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR THIS WEEK IN SUPPORT OF THE CATASTROPHIST PRESENT LIVE VIDEO FOR “SHAKE HANDS WITH DANGER” h9ps://youtu.be/_qxLTZ6TOps NEW ALBUM OUT NOW ON THRILL JOCKEY “It seems to want to be indisJnct, to lie beyond trackable senJment or emoJon or even clear historical markers. But it can’t be: It’s part of a much greater, nearly 50-year long story of rock bands wiggling away from rock.” — The New York Times “…the Tortoise mix of pelvic trance grooves and jazzy changes remains disJncJve.” — Rolling Stone “…so many disparate elements and influences might sound like a crazy mess, but The Catastrophist has the same kind of measured, sanguine quality that has been the hallmark of almost every Tortoise album. None of this should make sense, but for some reason all of it does.” — Stereogum “Chicago’s Tortoise is a genre unto itself: cited as a progenitor of post-rock, and clearly indebted to its home town’s history of improvisers and fusionists, Tortoise is an American underground insJtuJon.” — Boston Globe “The Catastrophist bristles with le_ turns and trap doors.” — Chicago Tribune Following an extensive European tour and two sold out release shows in the band’s hometown of Chicago, revered instrumental group Tortoise are set to embark on their first major North American tour in support of their new album, The Catastrophist, just out on ThriLL Jockey Records. In anJcipaJon of the tour kick-off, Tortoise are sharing a special live video of the band performing “Shake Hands With Danger,” a hypnoJc, bass-and-beat album highlight, filmed at the band’s in-the-round album release shows at Thalia Hall in Chicago this past January. The video offers up a rare and special experience to watch Tortoise re-create the sonic textures represented throughout their albums in a live seng. Comprised of mulJ-instrumentalists Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Doug McCombs, John McEnWre and Jeff Parker, Tortoise will kick off the first leg of their extensive North American tour this Wednesday in MinneapoLis at the Cedar CuLturaL Center, taking them all across Midwest, Northeast, and Southwest. They’ll head back out in late April to the West Coast and southern US, before heading back to Europe this summer. A full list of tour dates is below.

  • Pressemeldung Tortoise
    26.10.2016 Pressemeldung Tortoise Die Instrumentalband Tortoise aus Chicago gastiert am Mittwoch, 9.11.2016 um 20.00 Uhr im Gläsernen Foyer des Theaters im Pfalzbau. Vorgestellt wird an diesem Abend das neue Album der Musiker „The Catastrophist“. Tortoise besteht aus den Multiinstrumentalisten Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Doug McCombs, John McEntire und Jeff Parker, die seit 25 Jahren zusammen als eine der ersten amerikani- schen Indie-Rock-Bands Krautrock, Dub, Minimalismus, elektronische Musik und Jazz- elemente in ihre Musik einbringen. Typisch für den Klang der Gruppe ist der oft collagen- artige Umgang mit verschiedenen stilistischen Elementen und deren Verfremdung. Die fast vollständig instrumentale Musik von Tortoise entzieht sich daher aufgrund ihrer vielfältigen Einflüsse einer einfachen Kategorisierung. „The Catastrophist“, das aktuelle Studioalbum, ist von launischen Synthie-Jams geprägt und hat dabei alles zu bieten, was das Tortoise-Universum hergibt. Die Songs entstanden, als die Band von der Stadt Chicago, einer der Jazz-Hauptstädte weltweit, beauftragt wurde, über die lokale Jazz- und Impro-Musikszene zu schreiben. Mit „The Catastrophist“ zeigt sich die Band auf der Höhe ihres Schaffens. Angefangen bei dem namensgebenden Track über hypnotische, von Bass und Beat gesteuerten Songs wie „Shake Hands With Danger“ bis hin zu einem Cover von David Essex‘ Radiohit „Rock on“. Einheitspreis 24 € Fotos zum Stück können Sie sich im Pressebereich der Website unseres Theaters herunterladen: http://www.theater-im-pfalzbau.de/service/presse Pressekontakt: Theater im Pfalzbau Ludwigshafen Ansprechpartner: Dr. Roswita Schwarz, Telefon: (0621) 504-2540, E-Mail: [email protected] Carolin Grein, Telefon: (0621) 504-2541, E-Mail: [email protected] Herausgeberin: Stadt Ludwigshafen am Rhein Bereich: Öffentlichkeitsarbeit Postfach 21 12 25 67012 Ludwigshafen Telefon: 0621 504-3013 Telefax: 0621 504-2049 E-Mail: [email protected] Internet: www.ludwigshafen.de Verantwortlich: Sigrid Karck .

  • Development of Musical Ideas in Compositions by Tortoise
    DEVELOPMENT OF MUSICAL IDEAS IN COMPOSITIONS BY TORTOISE Reiner Krämer Prologue For more than 25 years, the Chicago-based experimental rock band Tortoise has crossed over multiple popular music genres (ambient music, krautrock, dub, electronica, drums and bass, reggae, etc.) as well as different types of jazz music, and has made use of minimalist Western art music.1 The group is often labeled a pioneer of the »post-rock« genre. Allegedly, Simon Reynolds first used the term in his review of the album Hex by the English east Lon- don band Bark Psychosis (Reynolds 1994a) and shortly afterwards in his arti- cle »Shaking the Rock Narcotic« (Reynolds 1994b: 28-32). In connection to Tortoise he used »post-rock« in his review article of their 1996 album Mil- lions Now Living Will Never Die (Reynolds 1996). Reynolds describes music he labels as ›post-rock‹ where bands use guitars »in [non-rock] ways« to manipulate »timbre and texture rather than riff[s]« and »augment rock's basic guitar-bass-drums lineup with digital technology such as samplers and sequencers« (Reynolds 2017: 509). Most members of Tortoise act as multi- instrumentalists that play different combinations of instruments at different times. As Jeanette Leech (2017: 16) has stated, a typical Tortoise stage set- up can feature vibraphones, marimbas, two drum sets, and a multitude of synthesizers. With regards to the instrumental setup Leech draws up paral- lels with progressive rock of the 1970s but points to one decisive difference within the genres: »for Tortoise, the range of instrumentation [is] about creating mood, not showboating« (ibid.).

  • October 6, 2015 TORTOISE RETURN with the CATASTROPHIST
    October 6, 2015 For Immediate Release TORTOISE RETURN WITH THE CATASTROPHIST, FIRST NEW ALBUM SINCE 2009, OUT JANUARY 22ND ON THRILL JOCKEY RECORDS LISTEN TO DEBUT SINGLE, “GESCEAP” https://youtu.be/7ArKJ5k1Vnc TORTOISE TO TOUR NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE NEXT YEAR (above image by Andrew Paynter) Simply put, Tortoise has spent nearly 25 years making music that defies description. While the Chicago- based instrumental quintet has nodded to dub, rock, jazz, electronica and minimalism throughout its revered and influential six-album discography, the resulting sounds have always been distinctly, even stubbornly, their own. This fact remains true on The Catastrophist, Tortoise’s first studio album in nearly seven years. It’s an album where moody, synth-swept jams like the opening title track cozy up next to hypnotic, bass-and-beat missives like “Shake Hands With Danger,” a downright strange cover of David Essex’s 1973 radio smash, “Rock On,” sung by U.S. Maple/Dead Rider’s Todd Rittmann, and the bittersweet, honest-to-goodness soul ballad “Yonder Blue,” sung by Yo La Tengo’s Georgia Hubley. Throughout, the songs transcend expectations as often as they delight the eardrums. Tortoise, comprised of multi-instrumentalists Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Doug McCombs, John McEntire and Jeff Parker, has always thrived on sudden bursts of inspiration. And for The Catastrophist, the spark came in 2010 when the group was commissioned by the City of Chicago to compose a suite of music rooted in its ties to the area’s noted jazz and improvised music communities. Tortoise then performed those five loose themes at a handful of concerts, and “when we finally got around to talking about a new record, the obvious solution to begin with was to take those pieces and see what else we could do with them,” says McEntire.
