| | Chicago Underground Duo is one part trumpeter Rob Mazurek, one | |
| | part drummer Chad Taylor. Expanding at various times into | |
| | quartet and orchestra formats, Boca Negra is the duo's fifth | |
| | album since 1998 and it sounds delightfully unfamiliar. | |
| | | |
| | Green Ants is stripped down to essentials and then some. It's a | |
| | skeleton framework of beaten skins and blown pipes. Melodies | |
| | appear as if dropped suddenly by a prairie wind. Left Hand of | |
| | Darkness makes its way on the spider legs of what sounds like a | |
| | well-worn thumb piano and a handful of effects pedals. Progress | |
| | is slow, twitchy and spooked. It discovers its form gradually and | |
| | the realisation is a pleasure to experience. | |
| | | |
| | Broken Shadows fumbles like a sinister old man pummelled by Chad | |
| | Taylor's percussive attack: heavy on the cymbals, lighter on the | |
| | vibraphone. Mazurek blows streamers of parched notes that flit | |
| | quickly in and out of focus. It's an Ornette Coleman composition | |
| | û though you mightn't know it without being told û and it's | |
| | exciting and strange. | |
| | | |
| | Hermeto is a ghost melody hypnotically repeated and almost | |
| | drowned out by passing traffic. It may put you in that meditative | |
| | state where your vision blurs a little and you take in the music | |
| | without having to think about it (this is a good thing). Laughing | |
| | With the Sun revives the thumb piano for a bleached journey | |
| | through warm and dusty textures. The album concludes with a | |
| | fitful syncopated beat, echoing chimes and trumpet-sounded vapour | |
| | trails. | |
| | | |
| | Boca Negra's cover sports a LOMO-like over-exposure, a mixture of | |
| | reflections and silhouettes. It's a fitting visual for the duo's | |
| | high, haunted music. There was a time when it seemed anything | |
| | emanating from a Chicago zip code was essential. That time may | |
| | have passed, but if you're in any way interested in atmospheric, | |
| | exploratory music that creates worlds as it progresses, seek Boca | |
| | Negra out. | |
