Not content to merely filter through their back catalog of work this July at the Pitchfork Music Festival, Chicago's premiere post-rock/jazz outfit today announced the completion of their latest record. Tortoise's sixth studio album, entitled Beacons of Ancestorship, will hit record shops on June 23 via Thrill Jockey records. Stereogum has a download of the album's opening track "High Class Slim Came Floatin' In"; a synth-heavy suite that sounds quite different from most of the group's previous work.
