Chicago's Tortoise dabble in an idiosyncratic mix of genres, taking an ambitious (if minimalist) approach to cool jazz and ambient electronics. Avant-garde masterminds à la Brian Eno, founding members Doug McCombs and John Herndon began toying with new methods of sound production in 1990, and have since become pioneers in everything from electronica, mid-tempo house, and ambient avant-jazz to post-rock and prog. Tonight, they return to SF for a big show promising a little bit of everything, as well as a few newly minted surprises off their recent full-length, Beacons of Ancestorship — their first in five years.
