Radiation by The Boxing Lesson
Space rock symphonies and dark cinematic landscapes are arranged beautifully in this second release from The Boxing Lesson.
Expanding on the sound of the debut EP, the band incorporated more Moog synthesizers, ambient effects and a new bass player on Radiation. The EP also included a woozy live version of the Acetone song, "Don't Cry"...
"Radiation", received more impressive national and international reviews, with Splendid Magazine UK describing it as "promising, if imperfect". Australian blog, Halo-17, gave the record a very favorable 8.5/10 rating and said,"If you only take a chance on one new rock album this month, make it this one," and "The Boxing Lesson cut all the fat from their music, and produced a record which shows that they're a band that should be taken seriously, in addition to providing some of the best music I've heard so far in 2004."
