Parallax Sounds

Documentary, Music

Director Augusto Contento renders a documentary portrait of Chicago's underground music scene during the 1990s, interviewing many of the era's stars. The city itself is an integral part of the story, strongly affecting the musicians who work there.

Plot

Chicago, from the 1990s on, has established itself as one of the most interesting cities on a musical level, despite its decentralized position in relation to the West/East Coast dichotomy. The merit goes to people like Steve Albini (journalist, critic and producer, as well as leader of the group Shellac), David Grubbs, Damon Locks, Ken Vandermark, and Ian Williams, who have given life to a type of sound connected to the architecture of this city where different styles of the underground music scene meet.
