       Black box recorder are a British band consisting of Sarah Nixey
       (the vocalist), Luke Haines (of The Auteurs), and John Moore.
       With Sarah Nixey's breathy, ice cold vocals and Luke Haines
       intriguing story telling style in the lyrics; the sound of Black
       box recorder is certainly haunting, engaging and pulls the
       listener into a fantastic dark world that will entertain and
       move you like no other band you've ever heard.
       England made me 1998 was their first album and it's got a more
       raw sound to it than their later, more dancer tunes. It's a
       haunting, cold and adventurous set of great songs that shows
       mush potential of what's to come next for the band. It sounds
       more minimal in production than their later two albums, which
       incorporate more electronic elements into the music.
       I love Facts of life 2000 & England made me 1998 but I think
       that Passionoia 2003 was their strongest album, which had the
       most enjoyable consistent flow of good songs. Mostly all dance
       pop tunes.
       This band is very dark but also somehow always sounds uplifting
       to me. The production is excellent and the singer (although a
       little weak) is the perfect character to lead Luke Haines
       masterful job at telling stories. I love their dark, hypnotic
       sound and rich layers of melodies and creative production. This
       is a band that you won't get tired of listening to because they
       have put so much into the making of their songs.
       Sarah Nixey has also had a solo career and has released two
       albums so far as of October 2012. Her second album, Brave tin
       soldiers 2011 sounds a lot like Black box recorders first album
       England made me, but with the absence of Luke Haines genius
       lyrical input.
