A Grape Dope has been played on NTS in shows including Music To Ease Your Disease, featured first on 2 September 2018. Songs played include When You Crash and Burn, Cold War (Bombs And More Mix) and Duck Duck.

Joining the highly acclaimed roster of Tortoise side projects (The Sea and Cake, Brokeback, Isotope 217), A Grape Dope finds John Herndon straddling the line between hardline beats and loose-limbed kineticism. DoseOne, Kathryn Frazier, and Sally Timms join Herndon for an altogether fresh delivery.
