Copenhagen's The Boombox Hearts have released the first track from their forthcoming debut album penciled for release in November, with a single scheduled for. The track entitled, C.P.H.L., is "distilled sadness and hate mixed with noise, lo-fi, spacepop and a beat", couldn't have said it better ourselves. Put it in your ears and then your hard drive. The Boombox Hearts; C.P.H.L.
Stream rough mix of new track C.P.H.L (what the abbreviation stands for seems to be a secret) by The Boombox Hearts . Will be the opening track of the band's forthcoming album (when, where, how etc. are still secrets I believe) and is " distilled sadness and hate mixed with noise, lo-fi, spacepop and a beat "...whatever that means exactly, except perhaps that sadness can sound incredibly cool? The rest of the album promises to " include sadness...and a few (slightly) happy pop songs ". [...]

Check out the new Spleen United single Days Of Thunder ...I used to love this band, but not a fan of the direction the band has taken since the debut album...
The Boombox Hearts har sendt mig et nyt nummer fuld af melankoli og efterårstristesse. Crank It Up er en lille lo-fi perle med country undertoner. Jeg er desuden ret vild med forsanger Ivan Petersesn hæse udtryksfulde stemme, der på Crank It Up lyder som om, han har fået hjertet kørt midt over. Nummeret er en slags intermezzo mellem EP'en fra og den kommende plade, som bandet har påbegyndt indspilningen af. I mellemtiden kan du høre flere tracks på bandets Soundcloud, Bandcamp og Bandbase profil. The Boombox Hearts — Crank It [...]
These days, it's hard to focus on anything unfamiliar that hits my inbox. The sheer quantity of emails that come in is staggering. Only doing FensePost full time would allow me to get through it all. Every once in a while, there's a free moment in which I take a quick look at a few, and I'm almost never disappointed. "Crank It Up" is one such song. It's by a little Danish band called The Boombox Hearts . The band is Ivan Petersen, along [...]
This is just a good ass song from some cool lo-fi Danes with at least one member with pretty hair. The Boombox Hearts
Check out the video for new track Crank It Up by The Boombox Hearts . A sort of "in-between" release as it wasn't included on the debut EP and won't be included on the album, which the band (this comes straight from the horse's mouth ) has begun recording. Crank It Up is sad, beautiful and lo-fi, sounding quite Iron & Wine (ish).
Went to Copenhagen Friday evening and left wife and kids (plus car) at my mother-in-law's (this piece of info gets sort of relevant later). First stop (after the required shawarma) was meeting Tempomatador underneath Copenhagen soil in the band's rehearsal room (an old either cold war or Second World War bunker). The band was rehearsing for an upcoming semi-acoustic concert and I believe I caught the second half of the set; and it sounded pretty good (though I was later told that he sound in the bunker is far from [...]
Sorry, but I'm afraid not. The title has nothing to do with tonight's much talked about and ridiculously overhyped soccer game . Instead it's the name of this beautiful demo track by The Boombox Hearts (that never made it onto the band's debut EP ), which the band is now giving away as a free download to celebrate the birthday of an old friend. It's, in their own words, " a countrypop song about going to Kalvøya Festival in 1993, being teen, ever so slightly drunk, kissing a [...]
This will be short... @ Jonas ; I know, I know. I owe a post on The Golden Ratio . Coming real soon (if next week is "real soon")... New single National Runner by [the] caseworker is, is, is absolutely brilliant. Insistingly noisy and catchy exactly as I like it... + National Runner [...]
The wife's out, the kids are watching TV, I'm having a beer and enjoying that for once the computer is mine…aaaaall mine! Really tired tonight, but having a few things I'd like to post and share, so sleep is put on hold! Boxstr.net still isn't working. Will be quite interesting if they have the nerve to keep charging their monthly fee, but "at least" their support hasn't replied to any of my emails. Great, great service (can you spell sarcasm...s-a-r-c-a-s-m)...Fuc kers! On a far more positive note. Earlier today [...]
This is just one of those "this and that", "bits and bobs", "yada yada", "shorties", whatever, etc. kind of posts. The Boombox Hearts ' downright excellent debut EP Monte Carlo is finally out and available through the usual suspects ( bandcamp und so weiter). + Cover Me (Bruce Springsteen cover) Watch how Martin Aamot of [...]
Pitchfork has discovered California Wives . The band's sudden (and much deserved) growth in popularity has (fortunately) increased the traffic to this blog as well. + Purple + Tokyo Try not to be confused; The Boombox Hearts ' cover of Cover Me (the Bruce Springsteen song) has been covered by Cover Me [...]
Why does every Springsteen song become unbearably sad when sung with an acoustic guitar?

From the department of good news comes word that the brilliant The Boombox Hearts has been signed to new Danish label Our Little Sisters Records . About time and much deserved. A 4-track EP named Monte Carlo will be the band's first official release (digitally only) and is expected to hit the streets (the digital ones that is) on April 25. To sort of celebrate the release the band shares a track from the EP; their alternative yet rather beautiful cover of [...]
...drink loads of coffee to help me stay awake. ...do my best to get some work done. ...give The King of Limbs another listen. As tweeted by MP3Hugger yesterday: " Wish Radiohead would drop being interesting in favour of writing decent tunes. They are quickly becoming not worth the effort. " I'll see the light someday I hope, but after two listens the album is as interesting as (insert whatever boring stuff you can think [...]
