Standards is the fourth studio album by American post-rock band Tortoise.[10][11] It was released on Thrill Jockey in 2001.[12]

Production

The album was produced using less of the studio manipulation that had been employed on previous records.[13]

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "the band is poised between capturing a momentary, malleable inspiration and shaping that moment into some timeless anthem, and as always, it chooses to dither and delay, settling for a sometimes pleasant, sometimes maddening, almost always stimulating exploration of atmospherics."[14] Entertainment Weekly called the album "mood music for post-post-moderns, both forward- and backward-looking."[5] Spin deemed it "a cohesion of styles and impulses so tight we might call it originality."[9] The New Zealand Herald called Standards "a neatly intriguing, mish-mash of instrumental rock shot through with lopsided grooves, dreamy drones, not-quite-jazz percussion and vibes, and knob-twiddling electronica rubbing up against a junk-store of old instruments - all of which somehow emerges as an accessible, tuneful, structured affair."[15]
