For the past 25 years, Tortoise has been melding rock, jazz, electronic and a mess of other musical styles to make a unique and interesting sound. The latest album from the Chicago band, The Catastrophist, is no exception.
There’s a cool blend of music on this latest release. And while Tortoise is well known as an instrumental band, there are a pair of songs on this album with choice vocals. Yo La Tengo’s Georgia Hubley sings on Yonder Blue, while Todd Rittmann (U.S. Maple, Dead Rider) helps the band cover the oddball ’70s song Rock On.
Check out the band Saturday at Thalia Hall for either an early or late show or Sunday at Mad Planet in Milwaukee.
