Get the first track off our upcoming EP here, free until further notice. It's called 'Vega'

There is also an instrumental version of 'Microdots' from an early mix of the recording that you can get here. It was mixed for use in a Fringe show called Enroute, which is a on-foot exploration of the city (details on Melbourne run here)

The EP is unnamed and still being finalized, but currently looks like 4 tracks. Recorded and mixed by us in our homes with assistance by Ashley Lovett recording drums. Will be available physically with a limited digital preview.

Keep watching this space for details on an EP launch soon...

Catch you at the metro feb 20th, no excuses!

Merge, February.

Box Elder features in this month's Merge Magazine. Thanks to Merge and Rory from Steering by Stars. Both are doing a lot for Adelaide.

Like most in this city, we've got a busy month coming up with gigs at the Metro, Exeter and Format Festival (which will be amazing, you should definitely get along to that). Come along and say hi.

Some are summer...

Recording underway (again!), but this time there is a light at the end of the heavily reverbed tunnel. 8 speculative tracks worth...

New songs are on the go too, and surprisingly some are quite summery (!) Thinking we should cite are biggest influence as the weather...

More shows added to the side bar, hopefully we can catch some of you there, otherwise keep an eye out for the next issue of Merge Magazine featuring an interview with Rory from Steering By Stars.

Stay safe on the streets after dark,

Pat

rewind the fall

hope everyone is well. we’ve been very slack these past few months.

so summer began a while back, but we’re still making our plans for it. if you are in a band and are keen to play with us get in touch by email at patchlockwood@gmail.com. we’re planning to make recording a priority, but hopefully play some shows around the place too.

anyway, it would be good to hear from YOU if you’re reading this, feel free to comment or whatever. as a preemptive thank you, here is a few extremely rough unofficial recordings from the past few months...

...to hear them with vocals and played correctly, come check out a show sometime.

catch you soon,

box elder

Time creeps slowly, subtely out the back door...

it's nearly gig time again... sunday in fact. which is pretty exciting, it's easy to say this is probably one of the best bills we've been on. the metro, 9pm, box elder then sunsettler and steering by stars after.

recording is going slowly, with tracks and people disappearing repeatedly, but things are progressing. check back over the next few weeks and some things will probably surface here, finished or otherwise...

thanks for visiting, catch you sunday
