Post-rock legends Tortoise have returned with their first new song in nearly a decade. The self-produced “Oganesson” is out now, via International Anthem and Nonesuch, and it’s just a sampling of a “larger body of work” to be released, per press materials. Listen to the new track below.
Tortoise is widely considered one of the most influential music groups of the last 40 years, with a wide-reaching impact on the contemporary music scene.
“Oganesson” was recorded by Tortoise drummer John McEntire at 64 Sound in Los Angeles, Flora Recording and Playback Studios (both in Portland, Oregon), and the late Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio in the group’s home city of Chicago. McEntire also mixed the tracked, and Dave Cooley did the mastering.
