You might wanna try Fridge.  They are kinda Tortoise-y.  I've heard
indie-rock types say that they're "like Tortoise, but can actually play
their instruments"  I don't know about that (I really like Tortoise and I
think they're good musicians.  Some post-rock that's not too much like
Tortoise that I've been getting into lately is from a band called Cul de
Sac.   Their album "Crashes To Light Minutes Before the Fall" (on Thirsty
Ear) is very good.

Hope this helps,
Jeff
