NEW VINYL LP ON THRILL JOCKEY RECORDS 2016 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION COLORED VINYL In 2000.Chicago's post-rock godfathers Tortoise use STANDARDS as an opportunity to scale down from the computer-based constructions of their previous TNT. Instead of incorporating their former cut-and-paste method of composition on their fourth full-length album, the quintet return to playing and interacting with each other in a live setting, resulting in a much more organic feel.The opener "The Benway" begins STANDARDS auspiciously, with rubato bursts of distorted guitar and free-floating drums, in an homage to jazz-rock guitarist Sonny Sharrock. From here on anything goes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standards_(Tortoise_album) Tracklist 1. Seneca2. Eros3. Benway4. Firefly5. Six Pack6. Eden 27. Monica8. Blackjack9. Eden 110.
