Touch [Smeared Electron Green Vinyl]

Tortoise – Touch [LP]

Tortoise, a leading post-rock band since the ’90s and a huge fanbase across genres, has released their first album in nine years! This masterpiece, showcasing Tortoise’s ever-evolving where they are in 2025, is released exclusively in Japan on smeared electron green vinyl.

Tortoise, some of whose members have left Chicago, began working on their new album by gathering in Portland for sessions. “After finishing it, we realized there was a coherent thread,” says John McEntire, “and there’s definitely something different about it from our past work.” These words sum it all up. Tortoise has once again created truly inclusive music that inspires new ideas. (Masaaki Hara, Rings Producer)
