 If Placebo and Pink Floyd had a son it would be The Boxing Lesson. The eerie wailing guitar rifts used often in most of their songs scream early 70's Acid Rock, not to mention vocals that Brian Molko would be proud of, exceptionally put together, their debut album Wild Streaks and Windy Days will certainly be an underground hit with college druggies.
The overall theme of the album seems to evoke a quiet sense of thought and inner perception. For a band that only consists of three people they make good on their gifts, intertwining Electronica, Indie and Classic rock -- talk about the ultimate trip, the tracks on this album will send you to the deepest parts of outer space and back. Although several of the songs were a bit drawn out with guitar riffs consisting of a good two to three minutes, most of the songs on the album are easy to listen to and definitely relaxing, if you're thinking of a way to drown out thoughts of a hectic day, this would be an ideal catch.Stand-Out Songs: Dark Side of the Moog (Pink Floyd album anyone?), Brighter, Muerta and Dance with Meow Check out the band’s MySpace for further updates and additional tracks.
