I don't really know shit about Brokeback, but the man behind the band Douglas McCombs is also in Tortoise and the record was cheap so why the hell not? It has the same vibe as Tortoise, instrumental jazz rock and all that, though this band is much more guitar oriented and not so much into the percussion like Tortoise. In fact, it's entirely guitar and zero percussion, so Tortoise is probably a terrible reference. There are three songs total, one of which "A Carrot Is as Close as a Rabbit Gets to a Diamond" is a Captain Beefheart cover apparently. Wouldn't know myself, Beefheart has always been one of those musicians I've tried to like (see also Frank Zappa) that never sounds right to me.
