Chicago noisemakers Tortoise have unveiled their visuals for new single "Yonder Blue", the latest from recent LP The Catastrophist.
The clip is directed by Joe Martinez. Speaking about the concept, Martinez says: "A person in pursuit of her identity and a journey that has the feeling of being incomplete. A snapshot of an existential journey and a moment to revel in the undefined qualities of life."
The Catastrophist is out now via Thrill Jockey.
The band are touring Europe and the UK soon - find out ticket details and more info on the Thrill Jockey site.
Watch the video for "Yonder Blue" below.
