    Dakota/Dakota "Shoot in the Dark" (2003)



    Dakota/Dakota's "Shoot in the Dark," is one more the more underrated and overlooked records of it's genre, and it's a real shame. Featuring Mike Sullivan and Colin DeKuiper, who went on to be 2/3 of Chicago instrumental giants Russian Circles, one would be hard pressed to find a lot of similarities between Dakota/Dakota and Russian Circles on a first listen. 

    Although both bands are instrumental, they are polar opposites. As you know, Russian Circles features long, sludgy and "stoner" metal ballads, whereas Dakota/Dakota holds tightly to it's Chicago/Midwest noodley math rock roots, not straying to far from bands such as Pele, Ghosts of Vodka and even at quieter at times bands like Very Secretary and American Football. There are similarities to Russian Circles in there, but you will need a few listens to hear them. If you have overlooked this record in the past now is the perfect time to break that habit.
