I Tortoise sono tornati! E’ stato pubblicato, infatti, il primo brano in quasi un decennio della leggendaria formazione post-rock. Autoprodotto, il sigolo si intitola “Oganesson”, è ora disponibile tramite International Anthem e Nonesuch. Ma non è tutto. Si tratta, infatti, soltanto di un assaggio di un “corpus più ampio di lavori” che verrà pubblicato prossimamente, come informa un comunicato della band. Ascolta il nuovo brano qui sotto.

“Oganesson” è stato registrato dal batterista dei Tortoise, John McEntire, presso 64 Sound a Los Angeles, Flora Recording e Playback Studios (entrambi a Portland, Oregon) e l’Electrical Audio del compianto Steve Albini nella città natale del gruppo, Chicago. McEntire ha anche mixato il brano, mentre il mastering è stato curato da Dave Cooley.

La band statunitense – composta da McEntire, Jeff Parker, Dan Bitney, Douglas McCombs e John Herndon – ha pubblicato il suo album più recente, “The Catastrophist”, nel 2016, il primo dopo “Beacons Of Ancestorship” del 2009.
