Instrumental rock veterans Tortoise release their sixth full-length album on June 22, the 11-track Beacons of Ancestorship (check the new issue of the mag for Steven Rainey’s review), and the band’s label Thrill Jockey have been good enough to offer up the first video for us to share. The track is ‘Prepare Your Coffin’, and it’s a beauty – charging steadily ahead in rather a stately manner before it reaches its denouement in a concise 3:38. Arguably more interesting than the song, though, is the visually stunning video directed by Andrew Paynter + JUICE – a black-and-white study in geometry, beautifully filmed and edited. Enjoy.
