Now signed to Tortoise’s SixSteps records, the title track from second album “Standards” leads Tortoise’s back-to-school campaign. It has been thirteen years Tortoise’ last studio CD, “Standards” which won Array Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. While no new Tortoise album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 2000 tour in Africa. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Tortoise ever.
Eden 1 motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others.
One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Eros. Benway is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Six Pack is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Eden 2 - To me, this is the best song on the Standards. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Best song on the album, love it. I hope to keep hearing Tortoise works for a long time to come.
