Our last album was kind of crammed full of melodies, and for whatever reason, we felt like every song we wrote for it, the natural thing was to try and put a melody on top to make it real concrete. We've kind of been shying away from that. A few things we've been working on, we've left them in a more open area where they could be flexible. They don't have to be so grounded in a strict melodic structure. |
We started off intending to do a four-song EP with Will, with the idea that they'd all be cover songs. We did four songs in four days, which is pretty much the quickest Tortoise has ever done anything. It was such a pleasant experience and so much fun, and the results were really great. So we thought we should do some more. |
We'll talk about the possibility of maybe doing a tour early next year. |
