The Boombox Hearts: Cover me (Single, 2011)

 

The Boombox Hearts son un grupo de Dinamarca que ya han pasado previamente por TJB para ofrecernos sus canciones. En esta ocasión, para celebrar que en breve aparecerá su Ep de debut, Montecarlo, la banda ha decidido regalarnos una versión de Bruce Springsteen, Cover me, en la que los daneses se recrean en los sonidos melancólicos e intimistas marca de la casa. La cover es bastante decente, y tiene un solo de trombón que la banda se empeña en resaltar, obra de Frederik Iversen. Puedes disfrutar del tema pinchando en el enlace.

The Boombox Hearts: Gold (2010)

 

The Boombox Hearts es una banda de Dinamarca que nos hizo llegar su música amablemente vía mail. Lo cierto es que más allá de agradecer su gesto, The Boombox Hearts tienen visos de tener un poso musical interesante. Están preparando un Ep para este otoño, y este Gold es un adelanto. Pop melancólico, letras un tanto sombrías y una influencia de gentes como Arab Strap en su música que ellos mismos emparentan con Mazzy Star o Chris Isaak. A la espera de futuras noticias, te quedas con Gold, una canción más que interesante que además puedes descargar gratuitamente, junto con otras de su repertorio pinchando aquí.

The Boombox Hearts – Gold (2010)

“In these times and days, where bands have to work incredible hard to earn a breakthrough and even harder to make a living from their music, breakups are inevitable. But still I couldn’t help being a tiny bit sad, when Oliver North Boy Choir decided to call it quits earlier this year, as I had fallen quite in love with the band’s dreamy electronic pop music universe.
Now two of the three band members are back writing and recording songs, as Ivan and Mikkel have launched the first of two new band constellations, The Boombox Hearts, where Ivan writes the songs, sings and plays the guitar, and Mikkel takes care of the bass. Regarding the second constellation we’ll have to wait a few more months before any songs will be put out, but accordingly roles will be reversed (Mikkel in charge of writing, singing etc. and Ivan playing the bass) and the lyrics will be in Danish, which I personally think could be very, very interesting. Obviously it needs to be mentioned that both constellations will (and already) feature several other band members, which is especially evident on the track Torquay # one, where a young lady named Ida (that’s all the info I’ve got) does the singing.
The first two tracks published by The Boombox Hearts are lo-fi and stripped down demos, but nonetheless quite intriguing and definitely promising that even greater things are in the making. Off the record (and very hush, hush) I’ve had the privilege to listen to a few earlier demos, and I guarantee that I’m not making this “great stuff in the making” up just to be nice.
The band claims to be playing a mix of 60ies pop, melancholic lo-fi, country and indie (and say they are sorry, if they don’t), and though I’m not really sure whether they actually do (the lo-fi part aside) or don’t, I’m definitely sure that I like it! (hitsinthecar)
