uber-pretentious + painfully chic.


i love the insanely pretentious tracks of english band black box recorder, comprised of a trio of musicians bent on slow, spooky and ironic music. it's hard to get much better than the soft-spoken lyrics of sarah nixey. at first you will hear, roll your eyes and laugh. then you will listen again, delving deeper and find yourself transfixed. almost obsessed. tres delight!

lyrics from child psychology:

the november when I came home the Christmas decorations were already up
spray on snow, coloured flashing lights
and an artificial tree that played Silent Night
over and over again
my parents welcomed me with loving arms
but within an hour were back at each others throats
normal, happy childhood back on course
batteries not included

this is good wholesome fun for everyone. rush out and buy your copy...
