Search - Boxer Rebellion :: Promises

Fourth studio album from international indie band based in London. Uplifting and cinematic follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2011 album The Cold Still, - which has scanned over 15k to date. Co-produced with producer Billy Bush (Garbage, Foster the People, The Naked and Famous). The band consists of Tennessee-native Nathan Nicholson, Australian Todd Howe, and Englishmen Adam Harrison and Piers Hewitt. The Boxer Rebellion took to their London rehearsal space and transformed it into a recording studio where the songs for Promises would eventually come together over the last 18 months. Moving away from the more analog and darker soundscapes that enveloped the band's previous album, Promises is a significant step in a different direction for the London four-piece - a hi-fi, soaring piece of work that truly delivers on the band's epic, signature sound, and individual skill as musicians. From the retro-glossiness of the album's opener, Diamonds, to the wall-of-sound that is Fragile, to the towering beauty of Low, New York, and Dream, Promises presents itself as an evolution in aesthetic - diverse in soundscapes but singular in grand ambition - for a band that continues to push and explore its creative ability with each new release.
