About Boxed In
After proving to be at the forefront of British alternative electro with their debut album, Boxed In return with their brand new album Melt. The record has already garnished great praise from the critics and has been made BBC 6 Music Record Of The Day.
Although primarily the work of multi-instrumental vocalist and producer Oli Bayston, the band also comprises of drummer Liam Hutton, synths and guitars from Jack Benfield and Mark Nicholls on bass.
“We feel solid as a live unit now. We’re able to translate the songs into a live situation quite nicely. They represent the album well, but we also add a fresh approach to them. Mainly I think we make the whole thing a bit more danceable!” - Oli Bayston
Boxed In tickets are on sale through Gigantic right now. Playing in February of 2017, they will perform at Patterns in Brighton, Thekla at Bristol and will be presented by Lemonfest at Move in Exeter.
Taking inspiration for their name from the agonised silent screaming Pope housed and suffocating in the impression of a cube as depicted in the Francis Bacon painting Head VI, Boxed In is the latest British electro band to be enjoying their time in the sun.
Their arrival came with the release of their eponymously titled album last year which was certainly welcomed by an eager music press, with NME stating that “the debut album from Boxed in will enhance your life”. They also impressed Clash magazine whose further praise included “the songwriter fuses electronics with a very English sense of the psychedelic”.
As Boxed In are getting massive press attention and experiencing a huge rise in popularity their concert tickets are expected to sell very quickly so book yours early. Stick with Gigantic for the best experience buying your gig tickets.
