Tortoise

Tortoise merges post-rock and experimental rock with a dynamic fusion of electronica and jazz rock, making them a cornerstone of the Chicago school sound. Their groundbreaking album “TNT” (1998) on Thrill Jockey Records showcases their intricate instrumental prowess and genre-defying compositions. Followed by “Standards” (2001), Tortoise continued to push boundaries with innovative soundscapes that resonate with fans of the lost generation and Warp’s eclectic style. Their influence is palpable alongside related acts like The Sea and Cake and Stereolab, cementing their status in the indie and experimental scenes. Tortoise’s dedication to sonic exploration has made their vinyl releases a must-have for collectors seeking the avant-garde edge in rock and indie music.
