Well that's weird, cuz I totally hung my brother for listening to this garbage....small world, eh?

[MrMbland]

beautiful !! into space ..

[SimonGolding]

Shoegaze for sure.

[TheLoserLucero]

I think the video is really fitting for the song

[wholeinmytree]

fuck. that's good.

[MrShadyJeff]

Have my cat on my lap, at 3:37 got all excited by the weird noises.

Great stuff guys ^^

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Strange yet so damn incredible

[1223dude1223]

i love tortoise because they are one of the few post-rock bands that i could either sit and listen to or go and skateboard or bike too. you can almost hear motion in the music.

[lacrossedivaz]

damn... sick

[octuplanctus]

1:56 awesome drum

[kersez]

whenever i hear this song it reminds me of surfing. specifically, paddling out through white water and breaking waves for the first minute and a half or so and then.... oooooweeee the glide begins.

[roxonogueira]

is "tortoise" said like the english way or the french way?

[gazboat]

It's pronounced tortoise

[uTubeSucksDonkey]

1:56

[rwastk]

my brother comitted suicide while listening to tortoise... hung himself in our dads garage. ( important to note that he was clinically depressed, and the fact that he liked tortoise played no part).

i like it, but listening can be hard sometimes  ;(

[aciddmc]

@rwastk thats heavy stuff

[xminusblindfoldx]

@rwastk Foreal?

[qwatto]

@rwastk My brother hung himself too. I can relate, dude. But such great music. Beautiful pain, in a sense. I hope you feel better. I'm still dealing with it. Reach out if you like. Best, Mike

[MilesMuhldoon]

I still like a woman who'll lap the froth slow and gingerly off of her lips from fresh lager...

[senkaxxx]

my names Seneca, whatsupwhastup

[VoonlapseMertigo]

This is nice. I like this.

[porkytard]

if you don't listen carefully, you can completely miss the 'funk and fire' dimensions of this song for the 'geriatric' dimension'. being an experienced tortoise listener, it took me awhile to figure out why anyone would hate this. now i can conjure myself listneing to this while watching antiques roadshow in a retirement community eating mashed bananas and incontinence pills. i think it's that organ line.

[Egondv]

@porkytard So doesnt this quality piss you off? :'-(

[greenhitband]

Dynamic GEnuis!

[willitblendd]

Why can't people understand good music when they listen to it? Rye631 die in a fire.

[stateofye]

no its a sweet tune, something not seen on t4 sunday u fuckin pop munchin trend followin hollyoaks watchin wannabe qeer bastard bitchy fashi0n victim. 'pretentious'? jesus i mean if ur sayin this is pretentious? piss off and go listen to scouting for girls you fuckin socially automated sheep faggot

[DiegoCR74]

Neither. It's just music that doesn't understimates its audience.

The white spaces around the letters you've written are, extra-linguistically removing the original intent of your comments from this universe, as is pre-ordained by the committee for a reduction in irony references in critical writing.

[dethtongue]

Beautiful maneuver!

[grandmaos]

i really appreciate this comment.

[biolegal]

Run along and let the adults listen to their music...

[greenhitband]

did you even listen to the whole song??

[grandmaos]

whats pretentious about it?

[SeaWeedX]

it is dead-manesque, isn't it?

[rederle]

Great tune! The beginning reminds me a bit Neil Young's "Dead Man" soundtrack. Tortoise is playing on Analog festival in Dublin this July! I'm there!

[megamass00]

Incredible video, Great sound...BIG band..i am addicted to Galapagos and Seneca..

[greenxxghostie]

these guys are awesome live :D

[psykdelia]

What does this space trip tells about the theme of the music ? Where is the old Seneca ? What about soicism ? Non me cuiquam mancipavi, nullius nomen feroas, as the stoicist said. Is that Tortoise's free music about freedom of thinking ? I don't understand...

[o0frigor0o]

just tortoise!

[rgawer]

these basedrums must have the size of tracktor wheels. amazing sound, jammin' and blastin'!

[Kenedamick]

Bass Drum
