The Boxing Lesson


Remember how I said that sometimes, great music does just show up in your inbox? Well, it happened again. :)

The Boxing LessonThe Boxing Lesson have created some seriously nifty psychedelic tunes on their new album, Wild Streaks & Windy Days. Their beautifully atmospheric, experimental rock sound and moody lead vocals make each track a special treat to indulge in. This album is a wonderful one to sit back and get lost in.

The band's impressive skill can be most appreciated on their longer tracks, where they have room to explore the melody and instrumentation. The guitar work on the album is just fantastic, especially the sweet licks on 'Dark Side of the Moog' (clever title!) and the deliciously depressing 'Muerta.' Those aren't the only tracks to take note of, though - keep an ear out for 'Freedom' (a refreshing burst of energy), 'The Art of Pushing Me Away' (dark and ruminative), and the epic title track.

So in my expert opinion (or not!), I'd suggest that you go check out The Boxing Lesson on MySpace and then pop over to iTunes to buy Wild Streaks & Windy Days!

Cheery bye, Scarlett
