After returning with their first new song in nine years, ‘Oganesson’, back in March, Toirtoise have today announced a new album. Touch will be released on October 24 via International Anthem/Nonesuch Records. The kaleidoscopic lead single, ‘Layered Presence’, is out now alongside a music video directed by Mikel Patrick Avery. Check it out below and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
With two members now based in Los Angeles, another in Portland, and just two remaining in the post-rock band’s Chicago hometown, Toirtoise – Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker – recorded the new album in all three cities. ‘Oganesson’ appears on the LP, which follows 2016’s The Catastrophist.
