Reviews
"Atmospheric, exploratory music that creates worlds as it progresses." Colin Butler, BBC (2010)
"Boca Negra...is the rare jazz album that gets deep into the possibilities of the recording studio. It doesn’t sound expensively made, but it accomplishes a great deal. Each track has a different sonic personality from the last; sometimes different personalities lie sandwiched into the same track...This isn’t just sonic research; it’s a real album, paced and considered. It feels good." Ben Ratliff, The New York Times (2010)
"The Chicago Underground ensembles have steadily produced a heady mix of raw and innovative acoustic extrapolations, complemented by deft use of electronics and signal processing. This album illustrates this dynamic, striking a poignant balance between improvisation and programming, between tune and atmosphere...Those already aware of the Duo's merits will need no convincing to feast their ears here, while new listeners willing to dedicate some time will surely be drawn into a lucid and impressionistic arena of reflections and evocations, both tranquil and fierce." Fiacha O'Dubhda, Junkmedia.org (2010)
"Boca Negra isn’t an album that’s easy to get acquainted with — this is music designed to induce a fundamental paradigm shift in our expectations of what a band can be and how they should operate, with two accomplished players bringing agitation and affection together at an uneasy meeting point." Nick Neyland, DrownedInSound.com (2010)
