New Boxharp Music Video Directed by Mark Solter

Oct. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Thanks to the ridiculously talented Solter family Hidden Shoal is pleased to present the gorgeous new music video for the Boxharp track ‘Rainbirds’. Mark Solter (brother of Boxharp’s Scott Solter) not only directed, shot and edited this video but also the upcoming music video for Boxharp’s ‘FanFin’. Just to add to the familial talent pool, besides Scott’s duties with Boxharp he has also recently been busy producing the much lauded “Majesty Shredding” by Superchunk as well as Liam Singer’s latest opus Dislocatia and even slipping in a Neon Indian remix amongst other things.

‘Rainbirds’ is a cascading, enrapturing, bejewelled feast of a song that displays the full bloom of Boxharp’s talents. Chiming melodies interweave beautifully with ambient textures and Wendy Allen’s pure vocals, giving way to a transcendent harmonised middle eight. The melodies return, crested by sparkling, wavering tones – and then, as if the door to the most intricate Cornell shadow box closes in front of you, it’s all over.

‘Rainbirds’ is taken from the Loam Arcane EP available now through Hidden Shoal along with Boxharp’s latest full length, The Green.

"The tone of the record is dark, brooding and heavenly atmospheric that lulls the listener with elegantly layered sounds, that sports a heavy ’80s influence. Boxharp’s strength lies in the subtle grace of their sound that is a beautiful collision of the old and the new with celestial synthesiser noise melded with folk nuances, that are encompassed by Allen’s delicate vocals… Boxharp play dreamy, ambient, experimental pop that have won them the public seal of approval from David Bowie himself, however The Green is not music for the mainstream… stick with The Green and you shall be rewarded for your perseverance with a rich musical tapestry that is overwhelmingly gorgeous in its construction.” - The Dwarf on Boxharp's "The Green"
