What are you listening to now, I mean right now in this moment?

Yeah. I love it.

An as-yet-untitled album due later in the year too. Can’t wait.

Their signature sound at this point is unmistakable, but this new outing still manages to sound like an evolution of that. Excited to hear more.

TNT is an all time fave album.

not a bad note on it. listening to my copy now, on wax. love it forever.

edit: odd coincidence to the above sentence - when moving from the first to second record, i opened up the gatefold (which apparently i have not done since it was new) and a valentines’ note from my ex girlfriend was hidden inside. from 1998. and yes, it was a “love you forever” kind of note. lol.

Recently rediscovered the Amplified Heart album, forgotten how good it is.

An almighty stampede for the two acoustic gigs that EBTG are playing at the MOTH Club in Hackney, only 300 or so available and they went in minutes.

Very late to know the band via the bureau b peel sessions but been working my way through and enjoying their albums alot. Aside from the two mentioned, Music is a Hungry Ghost is also great.

Can you guys recommend where to start with Tortoise? Never committed to diving in

I’d probably start with these three:

https://www.discogs.com/master/3831-Tortoise-TNT

https://www.discogs.com/master/4050-Tortoise-Standards

Edit: This is also worth checking. One of the many Tortoise side projects:
