The gently chugging song includes Jeff Parker on guitar, Dan Bitney on synths, Doug McCombs on bass, John Herndon on acoustic and electronic percussion and John McEntire on drums. It was recorded by McEntire at studios in Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Or., and mixed at his own Soma Electronic Music Studios in Gladstone, Or.

Tortoise are expected to feature “Oganesson” and other new music during their performance tonight (March 27) at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tn.
