Influential instrumental rock band Tortoise have not released new music since their 2016 album The Catastrophist, itself their first album in seven years at that point. But now, all of that has changed, as the band has just released its first new music in nearly a decade.

"Oganesson" is out now, with a video animated by Rob Shaw. Watch/listen below:

Tortoise formed in 1990, and were early purveyors of the "post-rock" sound, although their music incorporated several intersecting genres. Their self-titled debut record came out in 1994, and featured Dan Bitney, Bundy K. Brown, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs and John McEntire. Brown left the band in the mid 90s and was replaced by David Pajo, who played with the band until just after their landmark 1998 LP, TNT. After that, Jeff Parker took up the spot, cementing the current quintet.

They have released seven albums between 1994 and 2016, and have also done several collaborations, such as an EP with The Ex called In the Fishtank, and an eclectic covers album with Bonnie "Prince" Billy called The Brave and the Bold.

"Oganesson" was produced by the band themselves, and is being released on the day of their performance at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, where they are promising to debut more new material. An as-yet-unannounced new project is in the works as well, with more details to come.
