Soundtracks to the End of the World: The Post-Rock thread™

Yes, I am so ready for this new Tortoise album. Not sure yet about "Gesceap," though. It's like there's two competing aspects to the tune. The Beacons-style synths are still prominent, but there's also a very Reich-esque minimalism going on. It layers and builds, but in an odd fashion.

Don't get me wrong, I like when Tortoise get their Reich on too. I was just having a hard time getting my head around the way it worked with the synths in this one, but I've listened to it a couple more times and it's starting to make sense now. The drums are the binding element that pull everything together, which is pretty typical of Tortoise music.

Caspian was tremendous tonight. Powerful, haunting, heavy and graceful. Two hours of bliss.

seeing them tonight at DC9. I've seen them only once before at the same venue during the four trees tour and it was terrible. no one showed up and the sound guy did a shit job with lots of noise and feedback. I could tell the band was pissed. I have a feeling tonight will be much better.

I like some of their stuff, but Hammock is a little too mellow/"new age" for me. Same thing with Balmorhea.

So this happened over the last month and a half or so:

What it means: Yndi Halda have finally announced a title for their new record, Under Summer, and it's reportedly coming out in February of 2016.

Back in 2013 in Créteil, France, Tortoise played at the Maison des Arts et de la Culture with a six-piece jazz band and performed a version of "Gesceap" from their upcoming album:

Anybody in LA, come see us play our 10 year Anniversary show at the Troubadour on January 14. Special guests, Caspian, will be flying out to share the night with us. Should be rad!
