"Through about a dozen previous albums and incarnations as a duo, trio, quartet and orchestra, Mazurek and drummer Chad Taylor have been the core members of The Chicago Underground ... Rooted in post-bop jazz, their work has encompassed electro-acoustic composition, free-improvisation and classic minimalism ... Parker's pop influence yields several pithy, melodically direct compositions, which balance the polyrhythmic intricacy of a pair of Taylor-led tracks. But the most emotionally compelling performance is "Strange Wing," on which a series of eerie, winding solos hover over a loosely swinging groove".
