TORTOISE
Touch
2025 U.S. pressing

Great way to get my Friday going, & one of my absolute favorite records of last year.

To me, it’s always astonishing when a band makes what very well may be one of their best records so deep into their career.

Tortoise has been at it so long, and for my own personal tastes, I haven’t been much of a fan of what they’ve been doing their last few records.

To me, Touch is right next to the albums that made me fall in love with them in the beginning. Records like Millions Now Living Will Never Die, the self-titled, and TNT.

There’s a sense of cinematic adventure here, and for me, interstellar miles more engaging than their last record The Catastrophist. The members of Tortoise live in three different U.S. cities now, which changed their process of developing songs.

More of whatever that process is, please.
Worth every bit of your time.
Wonderful record.

You gotta up your game to fit in with the International Anthem crowd. Pressure may have done them good.

@TheVinylApe I agree with your sentiment here. I was fortunate enough to see them perform most of this album with the Chicago Philharmonic late last year. Really sealed the deal for me.

Oh man. That’s so awesome. I BET that was killer.
@TheVinylApe It was but keep your eyes peeled: there was a camera crew filming the whole thing so I suspect a video release at some point.
@TROG oooooh. That would be killer!
Thanks for the heads up!
