London Jazz Festival, in association with BBC Radio 3, Friday 12 to Sunday 21 November 2010

Since their formation in 1990 these maverick Chicago natives have remained a vital and ever changing musical force to be reckoned with. Subverting the predictable indie rock blueprint they add a heavy dose of Krautrock, electronica, jazz improvisation and sprawling, boundary-shattering song forms. They return with their latest opus Beacons of Ancestorship, that reaffirms their restless experimentalism.
