The Boxer Rebellion by Ry Cox
The Boxer Rebellion will tour the UK and Europe next month.
The Boxer Rebellion have unveiled their seventh studio album The Second I’m Asleep and are previewing it with the typically epic lead single Hidden Meanings.
The band have set it for release on March 27th in the wake of 2018’s Ghost Alive, one of Live4ever’s top albums of that year:
“Ghost Alive is superficially an acoustic record, not so much an abandonment of the principles which have, to a greater or lesser degree, dominated the band’s horizons but a rejection of anything that could distract, the object to bring you as close to the mirror as possible,” our review reads.
“Part way through its creation Nicholson’s father died, making it something of an unconscious requiem, although it seems that the deceased’s influence is more as a confidant than the subject of a glad-ragged wake.”
That weight, and simply avoiding the trite precepts of unplugging, is a draining enough task alone but somehow elevated by it, Ghost Alive is full of sensual, intimate experiences such as taken in by River, places strung out with hope and uncertainty, failed dreams and a history lost to time.
