DJ Top 5 Lists

Nick White 02.28.10

Chicago Underground Duo Boca Negra (Thrill Jockey)
Delicate and melodic arrangements from this local avant-garde collaboration between Rob Mazurek on horn and Chad Taylor on percussion. Their fantastic February performance at the Hideout increased my appreciation for this record ten-fold.

Jack Rose Luck In The Valley (Thrill Jockey)
An unfortunately posthumous release from a true guitar master.

Julianna Barwick Florine (Florid)
Haunting, intense and simultaneously soothing songs from this New York-based chanteuse. Florine has been out for awhile now, but with each new listen the record becomes more and more captivating.

Joanna Newsom Have One On Me (Drag City)
The chatter surrounding Newsom’s triple album is well-deserved. Definitely set aside an afternoon to sit down with this one.

Bird Show Band Bird Show Band (Amish)
Former CHIRP music director Michael Ardaiolo describes parts of this record as a “wonderfully raveled mess” and I couldn’t agree more. Ben Vida is joined on these out-there soundscapes by some of Chicago’s top proverbial brass: Josh Abrams, Jim Baker, Dan Bitney and John Herndon.
