Famed experimentalists Tortoise returns with new album The Catastrophist and release the new video “Yonder Blue,” which features Georgia Hubley, drummer for yet another renowned outfit, Yo La Tengo. Here her pretty vocals are juxtaposed against this wistful musical backdrop provided by the band.  The band continues its trajectory of presenting standout visual counterparts to its songs and presents the video for that aforementioned “Yonder Blue,” directed by Joe Martinez.
