January Vinyl of the Month - Tortoise - The Catastrophist



Back with their first effort in seven years, it's clear the boys from Chicago have not lost their spirit of experimentation with the hybrid rock/jazz format... for the first time featuring vocals on a couple of tracks, including a guest appearance from Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley on "Yonder Blue."

As usual things go from laid back and soulfully dubby and the way up to full speed ahead collisions between so many instruments you'll feel like a band camp parachuted onto your roof.

Enjoy!
