Tortoise release their new album Beacons of Ancestorship on June 23rd, and "Salt the Skies" was the first video to be released from the album. Slow motion meets your high school jazz band in a cosmic intersection of grooves and xylophones.
Their label Thrill Jockey describes them as "a fluid intersection of dub, dance, jazz, techno, rock, and classical minimalism, with no part overwhelming or dominating the whole," which is a pretty good start.
This video was published in 2004, and the song "Salt the skies" is in "It's all around you" album (that is much better than the new one)!
