Like most people my age, I found Black Box Recorder on TikTok with their song Child Psychology. It wouldn’t be years after that I would give them a serious look, and oh boy was I late. They’ve completely taken over my life; they’ve shot up my list of favorite bands. If you like melancholic, introspective, and atmospheric English rock music, they are for you. My musical palate is already accustomed to Morrissey and The Smiths, so it was very easy for me to dive in. It’s been such an enjoyable plunge. I did some digging on the bandmates and found that one was in a band called The Auteurs; they make similar music. After reading this, close the app or tab and open your music service of choice. Firstly, listen to Child Psychology if you haven’t; it’s a great entry point. England Made Me, and Wonderful Life are great songs by them. You should have a good idea of their sound, but then. Secondly, listen to The Art of Driving, The English Motorway System, and The New Diana. Those batches of songs are found on great albums, and if you enjoy them, give the albums a listen. I really love their music, and they need more fans. I beg you, they deserve it.
