樂隊在Gomma Records旗下發(fā)行的唱片被形容為"浪漫和懷舊的集合。有時卻又雜亂和朋克。"
Box Codax is a band from Glasgow, Scotland. They are made up of Nick McCarthy more famous for being the guitarist of alternative band Franz Ferdinand, Manuela Gernedel, and Alexander Ragnew.
The band's debut album, Only An Orchard Away (2006), has been described as a collection of songs, often romantic and whimsical nostalgia, at other times scrappy and punky. It is an honest and genuine collection of witty pidgin English lyricism, dark humour and the award winning song writing of a pop genius presented out of context in these lo-fi recordings.[citation needed]
Box Codax songs have been remixed by Metronomy, Naum Gabo aka Optimo, Rodion and Mock & Toof.
In September 2010, their label Gomma announced that a new album of the band, including internationally renowned collaborators, will be released in early 2011
