Band in box is currently working on a new album and healing some wounds. The new rules are no rules at all. That's the rule.
'This fiction' was released in June 2008 and became well received by reviewers and fans. Sonic Magazine rated the album 9 out of 10 points, Expressen 4 out of 5 as did Digfi. Buy the album online at Stereo Test Kit.
(Previous) rules of the band in box bakery
1: band in box will explore a new instrument each month. December was all about the clarinet I got from the trunk of a highly suspicious man's car. January is devoted to the ukulele. February concentrates on tambourines and March knows how to master a violin.
If I don't know anything about playing a specific instrument, neither will I know when I'll make mistakes. Each instrument gets a tune of it's own and each tune will have it's own sound, smell and taste.
2: band in box will, as illustrated by the name, never grow larger than approximately 1.5 x 1.5 metres. Thus, it will always fit in a larger box and I'll never have to learn how to play the double bass.
3: No fake instruments allowed. Never use margarine instead of butter. Never go on a diet.
If that's coming from you it makes no difference for me, be it upbeat or downbeat, high-brow or middle-brow. You know what a flatterer I am of your music :P Those three comparably new songs were something I feel lost for words whenever I want to describe them. So, i won't try. I'll just wait for another chance of flattery :)
Hola.
Ny låt uppe.
Denna gång är det en cover.
Birds Encoraged Him från Jason Lytles (f.d. Grandaddy) nya soloplatta.
I en helt annan tappning givetvis.

I love geeks, i get along like a house on fire with them cos i am one of them! Moreoever, had not you been a geek you wouldn't have written such songs, i think so. Touring... i asked that question in the sort of light like as if band in box were oasis or suchlike band. but, i'm craving for seeing you playing live, really!
