Tortoise - Zusatztermin | Berlin

Additional Date

-------------------------
Tortoise is considered one of the world's most influential music groups of the last 40 years, with far-reaching influence on the contemporary music scene.

Let's put it to Pitchfork: "Imagine a graph that shows all the bands the five members of Tortoise were in before they got together, and then all the bands they were in played after that, at the top of the funnel you'll find groups ranging from dreamy psych-rock to earthy post-punk crunch, including Eleventh Dream Day, Bastro, Slint and the Poster Children; at the bottom of the 'post-Tortoise' line you'll find groups that focus on electro-jazz and twangy instrumental rock, like Isotope 217, Chicago Underground and Brokeback. In this graph, Tortoise is the bottleneck, the only thing Project that contains elements of all of these sounds, but never feels defined by or committed to any of them. Instead, Tortoise floats freely, a planchette moving across a Ouija board controlled by ten pairs of fingers, each watching the arrow float in a direction but no one knowing exactly how it got there or who was pushing it.
