The Unstable Molecule
Isotope 217
Nu JazzMembers of Tortoise and the Chicago post-rock scene playing jazz that refuses to sit still — that's the setup, and it works because nobody here is precious about genre. 'Beneath the Undertow' stretches out with electric piano and drums that keep threatening to fall apart without ever doing it. Thrill Jockey put this out at exactly the right label for exactly the right city. Loose but never sloppy.
