Ep. #1026: Tortoise

Dan Bitney and Douglas McCombs from Tortoise are here to discuss their new album Touch, Dan being the lone band member I’d never interviewed before now, living in Chicago under fascism, how they met because of one of Dan’s earlier bands, how Touch was made with only two bandmates living in the same city, writing some of the shortest Tortoise songs ever, leaving Thrill Jockey for International Anthem/Nonesuch, Douglas’ many other bands and upcoming releases, the stunning cover art for Touch, touring, other future plans, and much more.
