A record of exceptional intricacy... American experimental innovators Tortoise have released their new album 'Touch' on streaming platforms. The album marks the end of the group's silence, during which they were engaged in solo endeavors. Re-entering the scene, the band – originally from Chicago’s avant-garde movement but now dispersed across various locations – have finished their latest project. Released just moments ago, 'Touch' features 10 tracks of captivating concepts and showcases Tortoise – Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker – working synergistically. This streaming release coincides with the band’s preparations for a short series of UK performances. Tortoise will take the stage at London's Barbican on November 22nd as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, along with shows at Bristol’s Prospect Building on November 23rd and the Leeds Irish Centre on November 24th.

Stellantis The latest automotive news and reviews, without the fluff. Our free daily newsletter delivers the most important stories straight to your inbox every weekday. Stellantis' American brands are actively working to reintroduce the Hemi V8, with the Dodge Durango at the forefront. Initially, when the company revealed plans to bring back the SRT Hellcat variant, it stated that sales would not be permitted in 17 states adhering to California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions standards. However, that restriction has now been lifted in 10 states, leaving just seven where sales are still not allowed. “In October, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat received approval for orders in 10 more CARB states, which include Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Virginia,” a Stellantis statement indicates. “It remains unavailable for sale in 7 states, down from 17 in August 2025. We are continuing to address policy changes and expect to be approved for orders in all 50 states by the end of this year. We plan to start orders for the Durango R/T 392 in the first quarter of 2026.” The company seems optimistic about making the super SUV available nationwide soon. This development is surprising compared to the situation last summer, prompting us to inquire with Dodge about what changed. Were there any mechanical modifications? Did political dynamics shift? The phrase “work through policy changes” suggests some movement, but despite multiple inquiries, they have not provided a definitive answer. Currently, only California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Washington remain as the states where the 710-horsepower Durango Hellcat cannot be purchased. It’s possible that by January, the situation may evolve. However, it’s important to point out that non-Hellcat Durangos featuring the 5.7-liter V8 are available nationwide, as well as the 6.4-liter R/T model. Dodge mentioned back in August that the 360-hp Hemi would be the standard engine for future Durango production, with the V6 limited to fleet sales. Nonetheless, the brand's vehicle search tool continues to list numerous V6-powered GT vehicles on dealership lots, for those who might find 295 hp sufficient. Have a news tip?
