The members tend to switch between instrumentations to give the music a more static feel but the majority of their first album, Dissection of the Tortus, has Neff on vocals, Metson on bass, Bravo on percussion, Marion on guitar while Noakes was not yet apart of the band. All music is free improvisational, as are the lyrics. This formula was changed on their second set of recordings entitled the "Spring Break Singles" from April of 2011 where the music was somewhat pre-planned. Two more albums were recorded an unnamed Summer album that lacked the inclusion of Marion and the Winter Album which included Noakes and Ian Scheiner but lacked Shrub, these albums have not been released. In early March of 2012 "The Banquet" was recorded, attempting to recreate the environment of their debut album, it did not go well. On April 4th, 2012 Tortoise Dust recorded their most accessible music yet for the annual reissue of the Spring Break Singles, the music was written out as were the lyrics in order to achieve something more accessible, one song ventures into punk which may be where the band is going next. Associated acts include: O, Omegum Flegum, Something Universal, Fynndlit, The Magic Carpeter, Mr. Snot, Flaccid, Fynndlit Big Band, Fertility Magic, Sonic Metlsouth and the Black Iron Prison, Sunyata, Celluloid Flowers as well as The Universal Carpeter Band. All members live in Scripps Ranch. They are represented by the label Smokey Brunzwick Stew, while not featured on the blog much of the music that they have been apart of is available for free download here http://smokeybrunzwickstew.blogspot.com/
