B&J are a compelling and challenging sound experience. "Ally in the Sky" is their second full-length recording, and it highlights the sensibilities that make them one of Chicago's most exciting young bands. B&J combine technical precision, malleable song structures, and truly unique sonics into their hard-to-categorize musical blend, as well as incorporate blues finger-style guitar into jazz and eastern themed melodies. Includes guest appearances by Jon and Frank Navin on vocals (Aluminum Group), Fred Longberg-Holm on cello (Peter Brotzmann Tentet), and Rob Mazurek on cornet (Isotope 217, Chicago Underground Duo). Recorded by Jeremy Lemos (Jim O'Rourke, Joan of Arc, Smog, and Wilco).
