Boxstep : the faces all look on (US,2002)**'
Didn’t know very well in which section to review this. Boxstep is an alternative / indie country-rock group with at least some art flavour, with a pop pleasantness and a post-rock like song structure, and a walz-rock chamber-band like drive, also thanks to the additional elements of piano, and violin or viola. It creates some great outbursts of slow rock energy (like on “My Slate Roof”), or remains in more tempered moods. For its genre the band sound approach works quite well. But listening to the complete score, it still has a tendency to work a bit, -like much pop music-, in a wall of sounds, even if this happens in an alternative way.
