Drummer, composer and producer Max Jaffe<\/a> has a new album on the way and we are a little late picking it up, but clearly, we’ve been missing out. Entitled You Want That Too!<\/em>, it arrives on November 21st through Colorfield Records<\/a>. Now based in the west coast, Jaffe\u2019s move to LA, after years immersed in the NYC music scene, flows through the new album.<\/p>\n

You Want That Too!<\/em> was recorded at Pete Min\u2019s Lucy\u2019s Meat Market Studio, and features a stellar lineup of collaborators, including Jeff Parker, Meg Duffy, Gavin Gamboa, Daniel Rotem, Shelley Burgon, Spencer Zahn, and Logan Kane. A record about exploration and connection, it embraces a wide range of influences and sounds, including space jazz, glitch-funk, and experimental textures. For Jaffe, the album is both a fresh start and a continuation of his musical journey. He comments:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy previous record, Reduction of Man, was like an elegy to my twenties in pre-pandemic NYC. I didn\u2019t realize as I was making it, but once it was done, it felt like a capstone on something I\u2019d started building years prior. And then in the three years of figuring out how to get it to listeners, it felt like it got covered in ash. Now, I\u2019m building a fresh foundation on top of that Reduction ash with You Want That, Too!. It\u2019s not a complete fresh start \u2014 I am still, for better or worse, me \u2014 but it\u2019s a new story.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jaffe\u2019s second single from the album, ‘S-NARE’, is a perfect teaser for what\u2019s to come. A wild, dynamic, infectious and drum-heavy track, it draws on the energy of early Warp Records and Jaffe\u2019s work with Sensory Percussion. Jaffe expands:<\/p>\n

\n

“Early Warp Records and my work with electronic drum sensors (ie.. Sensory Percussion) inform this drum freakout of a track. At Pete\u2019s urging, I leaned hard into the kind of drumming that hooked me on to the instrument: immediate, hard, and driving.
\nThe drums are an instrument of crowd control, and the snare has a loaded history of leading militaries into bloodshed. \u201cS-NARE\u201d leads with love but it can draw blood too.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Listen to ‘S-NARE’ below and check out the previous single, ‘In Green’, straight after. You’re in for quite a treat.<\/p>\n
