prepare your coffin

great new video from tortoise for their instrumental "prepare your coffin"

sumptuous black and white photography of fairly banal patterns of san francisco.

they are from chicago, but i guess sam jones + wilco already did similar with that town.

directed by andrew paynter + JUICE

cinematography by dan wolfe

tortoise is playing the great american, 07.13.
