After releasing two EPs in Los Angeles, songwriter and astronaut Paul Walclawsky left the haze for the heat of Austin, TX where he promptly joined the Cassini spacecraft team and blasted of from Earth destined for Saturn. There he found a new line up and new inspirations in the form of Jaylinn Davidson and Jake Mitchell. Jaylinn was there researching the magnetometer’s detection of the presence of ion cyclotron waves in the vicinity of Saturn’s moon Enceladus (which just so happens to sound like a Moog synth when played back) and Jake was far out there floating in space collecting data on the rhythm of Saturn’s rings.Once their mission was complete, they returned to Texas with everything they collected in space (synths, samplings, and old records that were found floating around Titan), and turned it all into Music. Jaylinn’s Moog bass and leads connect with Jake’s explosive evolving rhythms to form a hybrid rhythm section. It’s definitely psychedelic, but not in the traditional sense. Part organic. Part electronic. Part outer fucking space. Joined again by Grammy-Nominated Producer Tim Gerron, The Boxing Lesson crafted Wild Streaks & Windy Days in 2007 and played a meteor shower of shows at home and on the moon.
A bio that tugs at my very existence...masters of psychedelia, The Boxing Lesson have released Wild Streaks & Windy Days. The Austin, Texas-proud band's debut full-length blends organic & electronic sounds and calls upon classic influences such as Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Brian Eno and The Cure. Dark and moody, anthemic and arena-rock, precision and pushing. If there's ever a sequel to Dazed & Confused, Wild Streak & Windy Days would make a fitting soundtrack, as it's perfect to just set to contiuous loop on your player and drift as far as your mind will let you go.
