Recognized internationally, the post-rock pioneers return to the country after 8 years
The label and producer Balaclava Records presents the arrival of the North American group Tortoise in the country, in a unique presentation at this fair, on May 9, at Cine Joia, in Sao Paulo. In the repertoire, the classic album TNT (1998) in its entirety, still touring to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this iconic album.
The live lineup includes musicians Dan Bitney, Doug McCombs, Jeff Parker, John Herndon and John McEntire, as well as a string and wind ensemble, who faithfully interpret the original album recording. This is the first of his albums to include instruments such as violin, trombone and cello, showing an evolution compared to the previous Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996), now bringing more complex and ethereal compositions. This will be reflected in the show, accompanied by a group of five musicians to best recreate all the sound textures.
In this work, the group exchanges instruments between its members, which organically led them in a direction where they could more freely explore certain sounds such as jazz, minimalism or the electronic influence of krautrock.
The quintet has been active continuously for more than three decades. During this time, they have released seven studio albums, of which The Catasphist (2016) is the most recent. This avant-garde show has been presented by Tortoise on the most important stages around the world, such as the Primavera Sound festivals in Barcelona, the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, the Japanese Fuji Rock festival and many others.
This is the third announcement of an international Balaclava show this year, which has already included the appearance of the English king Krule and the arrival on August 18 of the alternative rock trio Karate, in a unique performance in Brazil.
