Album Notes

"One step beyond is the direction by which creative man has been moving since time began." - Jackie McLean, jazz musician

BoxKite experiments with form rather than without form, as a kind of experimenting traditionalism or a progressive conservatism. BoxKite does not strive to defy or ignore musical boundaries. Instead, they explore the details and implications of those boundaries; bending, twisting, and finding relationships between seemingly disparate musical elements.

"Interesting and musically courageous, BoxKite is an outfit you should have both eyes fixated on." - Smother Magazine

"'Soundings' is a subtle affair where even vocal tracks such as 'Those Eyes' exist in a subdued aura of minimalist melancholia." Soundings "reaches a real high point, though, with the centrepiece track 'January Nights' comprising a warm, addictive melody and a cheeky little sample of Erik Satie 'Gymnopedies' in between." - Leonard's Lair
