Igor Boxx

Add Date: January 18 

Artist: Igor Boxx 

Album: Breslau 

Label: Ninja Tune

Genre: Jazz, rock, instrumental 

Comments: This is an instrumental album that takes you on a wild, historic, and exhilarating ride. From the promoter: "Breslau, Igor Boxx's first solo project, is a cinematic look at what it means to come from Wroclaw, Poland--a unique place with a complex and troubled history. Close your eyes, and you're there as Igor uses jazzy samples reflecting the music of that era--more specifically, the Communist occupation of Poland itself. One moment spies are on the prowl through the city, the next an underground celebration goes on through the wail of sirens in the distance. This journey from old to new reflects almost half a century and the entire 'lifetime of vinyl culture', a great insight to music from behind the Iron Curtain. The rest is... well, history. FCC Clean. We Like 2, 5, 9, 14."
