Tortoise - It's All Around You

Review by owright

There are so many ideas on ‘It’s All Around You’ that it’s difficult to begin to describe it. A listen to the techy, but delightful ’Stretch (You Are All Right)’ would maybe encapsulate what is brilliant about this record – somehow, in one song, Tortoise accommodate outstanding lead melodies from at least four different sources; bass, guitars, xylophone and synths tangle together in a riot of tone. Everything adds to the whole, which becomes undefinable, yet totally beguiling.»
