Pioneros del movimiento post-rock, Tortoise fue una de las principales bandas de rock independiente, experimental e instrumental de la década de 1990. Su música polimorfa y de espíritu libre se basa en un impulso rítmico excepcional, llevado por músicos que son casi todos bajistas y percusionistas. Inspirado en el dub(Tortoise, 1994), la música electrónica (con el krautrock a la cabeza) y el jazz(TNT, 1998), este grupo de Chicago, que funciona como colectivo, puede presumir de haber publicado en 1996 un álbum que marcó el momento en que el rock progresivo se convirtió en post-rock. Millions Now Living Will Never Die allanó el camino a muchas bandas del siglo siguiente. La banda centrada en el multiinstrumentista John McEntire dejó marchar a David Pajo (ex-Slint), que emprendió una carrera en solitario en 1998. Después de TNT (1998), Tortoise continuó en una dirección más jazzística y psicodélica con la llegada del guitarrista Jeff Parker para los álbumes Standards (2001), It's Around You (2004), The Brave and the Bold (2006), Beacons of Ancestorship (2009) y The Catastrophist (2016). La banda que influyó en la escena rock de Chicago regresa nueve años después bajo el estandarte de International Anthem para presentar el álbum Touch (2025).
