Tortoise have been busy working on a new album. It will mark their first record in five years and, as we now know, be titled Beacons of Ancestorship. The official release date is June 23. The record is being handled by the folks at Thrill Jockey.  After the album’s release, the band plan to release a limited edition series of five-inch records that will feature new music.
