Video Are You Dying to See Tortoise’s “Prepare Your Coffin” Video?
Posted by Dave Segal on Tue, May 26, 2009 at 3:45 PM
Don’t be. “Prepare Your Coffin” is far from the best track on Tortoise’s new album, Beacons of Ancestorship, but Andrew Paynter + JUICE have shot a nice video—in which almost every shot seems inspired by Robert Longo—for it, which you can view below. The music sounds like Weather Report recording something for the Weather Channel, somehow both urgent and laid-back. I much would’ve preferred one for “High Class Slim Came Floatin’ In” or “Yinxiangchechengqi.” Oh, well. Maybe next time.
Tortoise’s upcoming tour will not stop in Seattle. Damn it. [See dates after the cut.]
