LIQUIFY - TALES OF THE TURQUOISE TURTLE (CD)

Seattle, WA - Psychedelic Rock | Space Rock | Instrumental

FFO: My Sleeping Karma, Black Sky Giant, Earthless

Limited Edition “Sushi” CD

Seattle’s Liquify returns with “Tales of the Turquoise Turtle”, a full-length instrumental and psychedelic rock release that expands the project’s space rock foundation with a new direction. Known for creating atmospheric instrumental heavy psych built around groove and open-ended arrangements, Liquify brings a more relaxed and experimental side to this album. Fans of My Sleeping Karma and Black Sky Giant will find familiar territory here, especially within the world of instrumental rock, space rock, and desert-inspired psychedelia.

“Tales of the Turquoise Turtle” is the fifth Liquify album and marks the first time the project has incorporated vocals, with five tracks featuring vocals alongside the instrumental compositions. Written, performed, and produced entirely by Tanner Ratcliffe, the album was created with a focus on a mellow atmosphere, slower pacing, and a more peaceful approach compared to Liquify’s heavier releases. 

The record includes the full album across three sides, with two additional tracks appearing on Side D:

“The Cactus Strikes Back”

“Upon the Whispering White Shores”

Tracklist:

Lucid Hallucinations

Dandelion

Into the Translucent Mirage

The Purple Jellyfish

**Bonus Tracks / Side D**

“The Cactus Strikes Back”

“Upon the Whispering White Shores”

Liquify is the solo project of Seattle musician Tanner Ratcliffe, with every instrument written and performed by him. Across multiple releases, the project has developed a recognizable approach to psychedelic rock, blending space rock influences with instrumental songwriting and a strong connection to sci-fi and surreal imagery.

“Tales of the Turquoise Turtle” was intentionally created a more experimental and peaceful record, stepping away from the heavier direction found throughout the Liquify catalog while continuing to build on the same foundation.
