Zakia Sewell sits in

Zakia Sewell plays music from across the world and chats with Tortoise founding members Douglas McCombs and John McEntire, fresh off their new album Touch.

Zakia Sewell plays music from across the world and chats with two of the original members of the genre-defying, instrumental band Tortoise, bass player Douglas McCombs and drummer and producer John McEntire. The group, founded in Chicago in the 1990s, have just released their seventh album, Touch - a kaleidoscopic collage of kraut-rock, post-punk jazz and minimalistic music.
