The most memorable release of 2025. A vinyl release from TORTOISE’s comeback album *International Anthem*, issued ahead of the album’s release. It features the original track along with remixes by poet Saul Williams, Heba Kadry, Patrick Carney, Broken Social Scene, and Makaya McCraven. It had been sold out, but we’ve restocked it following a re-press.
Track List
The Oganesson Remixes EP follows the March 2025 release of the “Oganesson” single, which was the first new music released by Tortoise since 2016. This EP includes the original version of “Oganesson” alongside five new remixes of the track created by collaborators and friends of the band, including poet and activist Saul Williams, prolific mastering engineer Heba Kadry, ????? ???? drummer Patrick Carney, indie music icons Broken Social Scene, and International Anthem labelmate Makaya McCraven. The Oganesson Remixes EP comes ahead of a new album by Tortoise, which will be released this fall via International Anthem and Nonesuch Records.
This is the lead single from Tortoise’s new album *Touch*, their first since 2016’s *The Catastrophist*. The song is titled after “Oganesson,” an element predicted by physicist Niels Bohr that does not exist in nature but has recently been successfully synthesized through nuclear reactions. The album features collaborations with rapper and poet Saul Williams—who has been working closely with I.A. through his partnership with CARLOS NINO—mastering engineer Heba Kadry, Patrick Carney of The Black Keys (who is also signed to Nonsuch), the band Broken Social Scene (featuring Canada’s Feist), and a remix by Makaya McCraven, who is signed to I.A.’s label. Each remix offers its own unique charm, created by artists with a distinct sensibility that sets them apart from typical remixes. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
