The Boxer Rebellion

Artist- The Boxer Rebellion
Album- The Cold Still
Label- self-released


The third release from this alt-rock London quartet is perhaps a step backwards from sophomore album Union. While it’s certainly not as ferocious, and it’s pretty clear that the Boxer Rebellion draws influence from The National, there are still some solid moments on this album. Most songs, excepting “Step Out of the Car”, are slow, indie tracks carried by the vocalist’s pleasant National-meets-Chris Martin voice.
For fans of: the National, Editors, The Veils, Chapel Club
