Review the cold still by the Boxer Rebellion.

(almost a month since posting.. damn concerts)

3rd album from the pop londoners of the boxer rebellion.
Once again the band  follow the path chosen with the second record (union) and goes into the popish , lavish rythms, with repeated lyrics, keyboards .
The cold still, sadly is a title that really fits the record
The songs on the album are more slow, nostalgic, less lively. Not completely unmoving in any ways but indeed the band seems to slow the pace, almost freezing the rythm, making more autumnals songs, slow and lingering (lots of acoutic guitars and keyboard) as the debut songs No harm heralds .
They experiment less, (a bit of organ sound  on the almost self title song ) take not a lot of risks, cimenting what they are building.

Is the record no good ? No but it is not a firm step forward, a mere tasting of the water... the cold still water.

Here's one of the best track of the album. (and most rocky)
