Tortoise - Beacon of the Ancestorship
In the past I’ve often heard some criticism when talking about Tortoise (one of my all-time fave bands) saying that they keep repeating themselves. Well such criticism will have to go back to the sewer it belongs to, especially after this new album.
Beacon of the Ancestorship doesn’t give a fuck about anything. It’s not easy, it doesn’t belong to any genre (is it jazz? is it rock? is it prog? WTF! who cares), it’s got fat synths, cool drums, weird tempos, it sounds great, and it’s a great evolution from previous albums.
Do yourself a favour, get it, and if you are lucky enough to have Tortoise touring near you, go see them.
