Tortoise have announced “Touch“, their first album in nine years, which will be out October 24th on physical formats and streaming on November 11th via International Anthem / Nonesuch. Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker made the album across three cities where members now call home (Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago) and features contributions from Marta Sofia Honer, Skip VonKuske, and Tucker Martine.
The album includes single “Oganesson” from this past spring and the new single from the album is “Layered Presence” which is a tight blast of jazzy, percussive, krautrock with some very interesting sound design elements in there. Watch the video, directed by Mikel Patrick Avery,
