Terrible band name aside (sorry dudes! If we saw a real Dragon Turtle we’d probably be pretty psyched though), Dragon Turtle‘s “Island of Broken Glass” works because even as it’s going balls to the wall and throwing all sorts of guitar lines everywhere, those hand drums keep everything centered and in control. It’s a full-on downer jam, but with studied restraint. While making this video, the duo decided they’d burn the organs they used to record their album, Almanac, signifying a fresh start and also signifying that making a big fire is really fun.

Dragon turtle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dragon turtle [[1]]is a legendary Chinese turtle with a dragonlike head. It combines two of the four celestial animals of Chinese mythology. Dragon symbolizes success, courage, determination, and power. Turtle symbolizes longevity and support. The transformation of the turtle to a dragon signifies impending success and good fortune in careers and business endeavors. The Dragon Turtle is good for childless couples. [2] It is promoted as a positive ornament in Feng Shui. The Dragon Turtle sits on a bed of gold ingots and I-Ching coins and this symbolically means wealth and prosperity. [3] The Dragon is blowing good breath to people carrying Ru Yi. Ru Yi is the meaning of power, high rank and doing everything well. [4]Its rough, deep green shell is much the same color as the deep water the monster favors, and the silver highlights that line the shell resemble light dancing in open water. The turtle’s legs, tail, and head are a lighter green, flecked with golden highlights. [5] The dragon is traditionally placed facing the window.
Mapmakers sometimes drew dragon turtles along with other fantastical creatures in unexplored areas – see here be dragons.

this video is cool, too.
Dragon Turtle’s single ‘Spill Out the Night’ is beautiful too. The beauty of the song is in the length, 18 minutes. It takes me through a passage/ transit; kinda meditative.
