Tortoise – Prepare Your Coffin
Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by indiefan in MP3, Music Videos
From their upcoming album Beacons of Ancestorship, out on June 23rd via Thrill Jockey.
On Sunday, October 4, much-loved Chicago experimental unit Tortoise will play a free show at Reckless Records in Wicker Park (1532 N Milwaukee Ave) in support of their latest album,Beacons of Ancestorship. The performance begins at 5 p.m.
The appearance will mark only the third time the band has performed in-store throughout their nearly 20-year history and is bound to draw a big crowd, so you’ll probably want to get there early to stake out a spot.
Below you can watch the video and download a free mp3 – courtesy of the band and Thrill Jockey Records – of one of the new tracks, “Prepare Your Coffin.” Also worth checking out isthis recent Q&A with percussionist John Herndon from our friends at loudlooppress.com.

I find it interesting that throughout this music video, you only see really vivid but artistic descriptions of what is happening and of the changing location. I thought it had really impressive cinematography.
