Home / Artists / Boxhead Ensemble / Quartets

The Boxhead Ensemble is a project with an ever changing line-up of people. Only constant figures are Michael Krassner, who founded the boxhead ensemble and Fred lonberg-Holm on cello. Further artists we see here are Jessica Billey (Smog), Michael Colligan (Pillow), Ryan Hembrey (Edith Frost, ex-Pinetop Seven), Glenn Kotche (Wilco, Jim O'Rourke, Loose Fur), and Scott Tuma (Souled American). This is a whole bunch of names, of which some say me something and others do not. Musically seen this can bring us something really interesting, as (from what I know) this is a rather mixed group of people.

As usual with the music by the boxhead ensemble it is made for a movie. This time it is “The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Mark Kerr”. Badly enough I have not seen this movie, so I can’t tell how the music relates to this, but luckily enough this album also stands for itself, without the moving images.

But, good, let’s talk about the music. The seven untitled songs on this album are all instrumental songs with guitars, strings and rumblings of small objects (or field recordings). The result is very relaxing music that reminds me of the big weatfields as you see them in the movie “Straight Story” by David Lynch. While listening to this music, it is as if you are walking through the fields of gold up hill, down hill and up again. The sun is shinning softly on your head. Somewhere far away you hear the farmer with his tractor cutting the crops for today. It’s freedom, total freedom. You, walking alone in the world during Indian summer.
