Still thinking about yesterday's jam. Funny how Tortoise spent two albums defining a genre, and the rest of their career acting like their signature austerity wasn't actually their greatest strength.

What you know about this week?

Once again Boris shines with bright and unrelenting tracks that feature washed-out guitar riffs over blasting drumwork and whip-crack electronics, while 9dw brings their best work to the table as well, stripping away the former band's shoegaze elements in favor of a dancier, more techno sound that nonetheless doesn't delve into the realm of [...]
