Since its founding in 1990, the Chicago band Tortoise has released genre-bending post-rock music to the masses for decades. The band’s post-rock sound incorporates elements of krautrock, dub, minimal music, electronica and jazz. Its sound can also be described as progressive rock. For nearly 30 years, the band’s 1995 album Rhythms, Resolutions & Clusters has not been available on LP. Now that this body of remixed musical work has been re-released, the group is bringing back the late ‘90s fad of remixed music to Athens. Tortoise is celebrating its 30th anniversary, sharing old and new work on this tour.
