2006 is only six days old, and already it's shaping up to be a big year for Chi-town post-whatever godfathers Tortoise. First, on January 24, Overcoat Recordings will release the long-awaited Tortoise/Will Oldham collaborative covers collection, The Brave and the Bold. But you knew all about that already.

The big news is that on April 11, Thrill Jockey will unleash the Tortoise rarities box set Rhythms, Resolutions, & Clusters. Centered around the 1995 tour-only, out of print album of the same name, Rhythms collects a plateful of singles, compilation tracks, remixes, and bonus cuts. The three-disc set will also contain a DVD, the contents of which have yet to be finalized. We've got the tracklist for the audio portion, but the sequence has yet to be finalized.
