Our Take

NEWS FROM BABEL's "Boxin" album is a perplexing journey through the sonic landscape that will leave you scratching your head, but also nodding along in approval. This enigmatic group, led by avant-garde maestro Lindsay Cooper, has crafted a collection of songs that defy conventional categorisation and challenge the listener to expand their musical horizons.

The opening track, "Banknote," sets the tone for the album with its eclectic mix of dissonant harmonies and intricate instrumentation. Cooper's haunting vocals float over a backdrop of jarring percussion and eerie synthesizer textures, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

"Who Will Accuse?" is a standout track that showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and styles. The juxtaposition of delicate piano melodies with angular guitar riffs highlights the group's uncanny ability to create beauty out of chaos.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Heart Of Stone" and "Black Gold" further demonstrate NEWS FROM BABEL's willingness to push the boundaries of traditional songwriting. The cacophony of sound and emotion that permeates these tracks is both overwhelming and exhilarating, leaving the listener wanting more.

Overall, "Boxin" is a challenging, yet rewarding listen that will appeal to fans of experimental music and avant-garde artistry. NEWS FROM BABEL may not be a household name, but their unique sound and fearless approach to music make them a force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to broaden their musical horizons and embrace the weird and wonderful world of NEWS FROM BABEL.
