"Scuzzy guitars, crashing drums, unabashed energy and depth of soul."
That's how U.K.'s Rock Sound describes Black Box Revelation.
Brussels, Belgium may not be known for producing great rock and roll
bands, but don't tell that to 22-year-old Jan Paternoster nor his 20
-year-old sidekick Dries Van Dijck,who have been playing together for
a decade, already releasing two albums, 2007's Set Your Head on Fire
and 2010's Silver Threats (recorded in London's legendary Konk
Studios) that established the duo as a serious force to be reckoned
with. A cross between R&B-inflected garage-band rock that takes its
cues from mid-'60s Stones and The Kinks to the most gut-bucket,
electric delta blues evocative of Led Zeppelin by way of The White
Stripes, The Black Keys and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Black Box
Revelation is just thatà a musical revelation that can't be boxed
into a single category.
Coming to America to record their stateside debut, My Perception,
with producer Alain Johannes [Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell,
Them Crooked Vultures] in his L.A. home studio, Jan and Dries felt
right at home in the country where so much of the music that inspired
them had been made. The result is their most accomplished album to
date, with sound and noise now coalescing into real songs like the
title track and "Rattle My Heart," which might have come straight
from Out of Our Heads; the spooky acoustic strains of the Beatles-
meets-Kinks British Invasion vibe of "Bitter," the haunting, stark
acoustic "New Sun," the thick ambience of "2 Young Boys," the
percussive beat of "Shadowman" and the psychedelic blues of "White
Unicorns."
While building up a fan base in Europe by touring with Eagles of
Death Metal as well as their own headlining shows in France, Germany,
Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Holland and Scandanavia, the band has
played scattered shows in the States, including two years at SXSW, as
well as shows in L.A., New York, Boston, San Diego and San Francisco.
Seeing them live, before a packed, sweaty audience of their crowd-
surfing, head-banging fans, is yet another revelationàthis one how
two guys can create a sound that fills the room-and more.
With My Perception their first official U.S. album, Black Box
Revelation will be making their assault on America very soon playing
every garage, arena, and stadium!
