the crying light

i've always found this album cover really attractive and very intriguing. but i've never managed to understand the music in it.

it must be this amazing autumn weather because all of a sudden it just seems to be the perfect soundtrack to the moment.

this saturday is the third show in as many weeks, and it's going to be HUGE! despite a small hiccup with the format festival programs, we're playing first on a lineup with FRIENDS, Jimmy and the Mirrors, and The Crying Game. get along about 9ish to check out the venue, it's rad.

thanks to Tantivy Fair, Two Suns and Sincerely, Grizzly for playing with us, and also to everyone who made it down.

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
