Tortoise have announced they’ll release their seventh album entitled The Catastrophist on January 22.
It’ll be issued via Thrill Jockey and will be the Chicago post-rock outfit’s first studio record since 2009’s Beacons Of Ancestorship and is said to feature “moody, synth-swept jams” and “hypnotic, bass-and-beat missives.”
They’ve made album track Gesceap available to stream. Hear it below.
Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Doug McCombs, John McEntire and Jeff Parker will tour across Europe to support the release, including an appearance at London’s Village Underground on February 23.
The Catastrophist is available for pre-order in a variety of bundles.
