Max Jaffe's You Want That Too! blends jazz drumming with electronic textures and unpredictable song structures featuring collaborators like Jeff Parker.
Tortoise releasing a record with anyone other than Thrill Jockey after a 30-plus-year relationship is a shocker for a group not known for dramatic changes. It's akin to Autechre abandoning Warp! Anyway, the important thing about Tortoise is that their last two albums before the International Anthem/Nonesuch-reared Touch - 2009's Beacons of Ancestorship and 2016's The Catastrophist - have been among their most vital and inventive, an unusual trajectory for a group well into their fourth decade.
