Tortoise was founded by David Graham and Dmitry Shevelenko. Companies like Lyft, Microsoft and Samsung have brought David in when developing novel technologies and concepts. Meanwhile, Dmitry oversaw the new modality partnership strategy at Uber and led Uber’s first deals with JUMP, Getaround and the public transit ticketing system Masabi. Together, the two have identified some of the biggest pain points in last mile delivery logistics and shared micromobility and are setting out to tackle them.

In his review for AllMusic, Glenn Swan writes that Tortoise 'share equal responsibility and trust in each other, pouring out a thick stew of meditative grooves, light production experiments, and rusty guitar-string ambience -- the likes of which have rarely sounded so approachable, but this is not to say the album is a sellout leap into commercialism. There are a couple head scratchers and murky moments that fail to make much of an impact, but the quintet have spun such a rich web of mood and personality that any fall from grace barely changes altitude'.[2]
All tracks are written by Tortoise (Dan Bitney, Bundy K. Brown, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs and John McEntire).
