I'm considering a move to Sweden. It's not because I've decided to start an ABBA tribute band, or since my obsession with sturdy wooden furniture has become unfathomable. It's because there seems to be a tidy assortment of artists emerging from there that are incomparable to most pop scenes. Glittering electronic pop, with glimpses into [...]

Luke Hainesin toista, viihdyttävää muistelmakirjaa Post Everything: Outsider Rock and Roll (2011) lukiessa tuli palattua jo hajonneen Black Box Recorderin tuotannon pariin ja todettua sen olevan haalistuneita muistikuvia laadukkaampaa. Yksi Hainesin kirjan huvittavimmista kertomuksista liittyy ajoittain epätoivoiseenkin hitin metsästykseen. Black Box Recorderin tyly ( "Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it" ) debyyttisingle Child Psychology ei tuotannut odotettua suosiota, jolloin yhtyeen A&R -mies tuumi, että coverversio Althean ja Donnan vuoden 1977 hitistä Uptown Top Ranking olisi varmasti juuri sitä mitä radiokanavat ja ostava yleisö kaipaa. Ja jotta kappaleen [...]
Sarah Nixey's album kind of slipped out of pinging range earlier this summer. Perhaps because, to my ears, it's really autumnal. It's a record for cold, grey Saturdays in October. Or rainy nights in. Or maybe the discolettes only notice shiny pop baubles in 2011. Whatever, this album, Brave Tin Soldiers, is worth going back to as the days become shorter and cooler. Frost As Midnight is literally wintry... the English do that so well. Other standout tracks worth your shillings are the [...]

'Gathering Shadows' By Sarah Nixey. Sarah Nixey looks the very epitome of stylish, sensual English sophistication and her music is very much in the same vein. She is arguably best known for her work with the elegant, sinister musical trio Black Box Recorder , which saw her cast as the arch, coquettish ice maiden alongside John Moore (ex Jesus & Mary Chain ) and Luke Haines (former Auteurs front man.) Her femme fatale image, crystal cut vocals and perfect diction may have reduced [...]

This is Sarah Nixey tweeting. And that brilliant moment – a reference to her classic Black Box Recorder track, Andrew Ridgeley – marked Sarah Nixey's debut on Twitter last week. Why now? Sarah is about to release her [...]
Sarah Nixey is going to be busy in May. May 2nd, there's an ep - Brave Tin Soldiers. May 9th, there's an album - Brave Tin Soldiers . The album. May 24th, there's a date at the Camden Enterprise. All this is lovely news. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

Though Sarah Nixey is British, she's a fille to boot, levitating effortlessly between the realms of innocence and lasciviousness, the subversive and the sublime. With Black Box Recorder – assisted by Luke Haines of Auteurs fame and John Moore, ex-Jesus & Marychain –, she recorded three of the smartest, though too much neglected pop CDs of the last decade. French Rock'n'Roll from Recorder's brilliant second record Facts of Life echoes the spirit of Jane & Serge, London-style, and features even a few lines in French: Black Box Recorder – French Rock'n'Roll Solo, [...]

Luke Hainesin , John Mooren ja Sarah Nixeyn muodostama Black Box Recorder on päättänyt lyödä rukkaset tiskiin. Kolme studioalbumia julkaissut yhtye vietti viimeiset vuodet hiljaiseloa muutamaa live-esiintymistä lukuun ottamatta. 6. toukokuuta julkaistaan vielä kaksi viimeisintä äänitystä Keep It In The Family ja Do You Believe In God? , jotka voi käydä kuuntelemassa yhtyeen MySpacessa . Nähtäväksi jää ilmestyykö viime vuonna puheissa ollut neljäs levy ikinä vai oliko tämä sitten tässä. Mistä olikaan kyse? Black Box Recorder @ Spotify [...]

Gig Of The Week: Black Box Recorder @ Luminaire After performing a one-off performance last October (number 9 in my end-of-year gig chart) Black Box Recorder return for two London shows, beginning this Wednesday at the Luminaire. Luke Haines is an under-appreciated pop genius, and this incarnation of his work has always been my favourite. Quintessentially British subject matter is their norm, icily delivered by Sarah Nixey. This has been long sold-out, and if you ain't got a ticket there's only one thing to say - " Kill yourself, or get over it ". [...]
This is pretty exciting news: Black Box Recorder are playing live in London, February 18th, at the Luminaire. "Please" requests the flier, "dress smartly". That's me buggered, then.

Sarah Nixey may be British, but her voice is perfectly suited to pulling vintage French pop into the 21st Century. This song was originally recorded in 1962 by ye-ye icon Francoise Hardy, and was written by Jacques DuTronc. "Nixey's version replaces the extremely basic guitar/ass/drums arrangement of the original with dive-bombing synth bass and a piercing keyboard hook." -Pitchfork The single was released today, including another song titled "Ici avec toi". You hear it and take it with you below. "Le Temps De L'Amour" | [...]

2007 müzik adına çok azgın bir yıldı. Yeni isimler, eski efsanelerin dönüşü ya da batışı, bilgisayar kökenli dans müziğinin yükselişi, ortaya dökülen onca isim falan derken erken boşalmalar ve tatminler arasında gidip geldik. Fakat bu senenin olayı, ateşli Suede günlerini ve Britanya'yı pas geçip kişisel arayışlara yönelen Brett Anderson ve ilk solo albümüydü. Müzik basını taktir etmesin, biz dinleyiciler de birer eleştirmeniz, Anderson rutubeti ve gözyaşlarıyla kimilerimizin kanının tersine, kalblerimize doğru akmasını sağladı. 1988 yılında ölen Nico'nun peşpeşe çıkardığı ''Marble Index'' ve ''Desertshore'' u ve bu klasikler döneminde kaydedilmiş demo/farklı versiyonları da içeren toplama [...]

Sarah Nixey - Sing, Memory 'Hayat adaletsizdir. Ya öldür kendini, ya da üstesinden gel' gibi unutulmaz sözleri yumuşak sesiyle anlatan; Luke Haines'ın şu sıralar durulma kararı almış olan harika grubu Black Box Recorder'ın solisti Sarah Nixey , şaşırtıcı derecede şık ve sürprizli ilk albümüyle hikâyesinin en heyecanlı kısmını sunuyor bizlere… Oynak melodilerin arasına sıkıştırılmış art niyetli elektronik ritimler, şarkıların melodisine ters düşecek kadar acımasız lirikler ile kesinlikle en iyiye hizmet eden bir albüm [...]

Sarah Nixey will forever live in my mind as the voice to one of the most dark, perverse, and undeniably pop bands of all time, Black Box Recorder. Her satin-smooth vocals were/are a key element to the band's no frills straight-forward electro-based glamourous sound. Sarah's now on her own, making her solo debut with Sing, Memory on ServiceAV . Sarah Nixey, "Strangelove" + Sarah Nixey + official + Myspace + more mp3s + buy Sing, [...]

Being a longtime fan of The Auteurs, it is expected for me to also be an admirer of Black Box Recorder. As Luke Haines' side project, Black Box Recorder consisted of Haines (Auteurs frontman), former Jesus and Mary Chain drummer John Moore, and vocalist Sarah Nixey . Forming in 1998 at the height of The Auteurs' popularity, Haines' crafted the sound of Black Box Recorder not very different from The Auteurs. Though more electronic elements and dark ambient effects were utilized, the lyrical philosophy on daily English life and affairs was consistent, much like every project of Haines' career. [...]
