  • Black Box Recorder are an English indie rock group. They debuted in 1998 with England Made Me and followed this up with The Facts of Life, which gave them their first hit with the single of the same name in April 2000. Their third album, Passionoia, was released in 2003. There is also a compilation album, The Worst of Black Box Recorder, a collection of B-sides, cover versions and remixes. Musically, the group is influenced by ambient music, English Rock and Roll and French electronic groups such as Air. However the lyrics to these lush and romantic melodies are frequently bleak, ironic or sarcastic: obvious influences are Ray Davies, Morrissey, and Pulp. The video for single "The Art of Driving" depicted the band as crash test dummies. Black Box Recorder are Sarah Nixey, Luke Haines, and John Moore. Moore and Nixey married in 2001, and have one child, although they were divorced in 2006. Although no official announcement of the band's split was announced, Black Box Recorder was on hiatus during the mid 2000s. The band collaborated with Art Brut during 2007, and released the single "Christmas Number One" under the name The Black Arts. In October 2008 the band played live at the Nick Sanderson (Earl Brutus, The Jesus And Mary Chain) tribute concert at The Forum, London. In late 2008 it was announced that the band would be playing a gig at The Luminaire, Kilburn, London on 18 February 2009. The gig quickly sold out, and a second appearance at the same venue announced. These sold out shows were the band's first headlining appearances in five years. It has also been confirmed that the band will record a new album in 2009.
  • Black Box Recorder war ein englisches Indie-/Elektropop-Trio, das 1998 von den Songwritern Luke Haines und John Moore sowie Sängerin Sarah Nixey gegründet wurde. Das Arrangement ihrer Pop-Melodien war größtenteils geprägt durch die zu dieser Zeit speziell in Großbritannien populären Musikrichtungen Trip Hop und Ambient. Die Band wurde 2004 vorübergehend auf Eis gelegt, nachdem John Moore und Sarah Nixey im selben Jahr geheiratet hatten. Entgegen anders lautender Gerüchte in der Pop-Journaille sind sie bis zum heutigen Tag verheiratet. 2007 arbeitete die Band mit Art Brut unter dem Projektnamen The Black Arts zusammen und veröffentlichte eine Weihnachtssingle mit dem Titel "Christman Number One". 2009 kehrt die Band dann mit mehreren Konzerten in London auf die Bühne zurück. Zugleich wurde bekanntgegeben, dass ein weiteres Album der Band zu erwarten sei.
  • Black Box Recorder is een Britse pop/indie muziekgroep. Ze bestaat uit Sarah Nixey (zangeres), Luke Haines en John Moore (instrumenten). Hun eerste album, England Made Me, kwam uit in 1998. Er was wat controverse rond de single Child Psychology, omdat die "Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it" (het leven is niet eerlijk, dood jezelf of leer ermee leven) bevatte. De single werd dan ook van de meeste Engelse radiostations verbannen, wat hun ironisch genoeg meer naambekendheid opleverde. Het tweede album, The Facts of Life, was een bescheiden commercieel succes dankzij de gelijknamige single. Hun derde album, Passionoia, kwam uit in 2003. Er bestaat ook een compilatiealbum (The worst of Black Box Recorder) met remixen, b-sides en de video's van de singles. De stijl van hun muziek varieert sterk per album, maar valt uiteindelijk toch in de (alternatieve) pop of triphop categorie. In het algemeen gaan de teksten over het dagelijkse Engelse leven, op zowel persoonlijk als sociaal vlak. Gevoelens van nostalgie en melancholie komen ook vaak voor in de teksten. Er wordt veelvuldig gebruikgemaakt van cynisme, vooral als het over liefde en de dood gaat. De band staat er ook om bekend maar weinig optredens te geven. De promo-tour om hun laatste nieuwe album te promoten bestond bijvoorbeeld maar uit vijf verschillende optredens. Momenteel staat de groep op non-actief. Officieel zijn ze niet gesplit, maar alle drie de leden geven nu voorrang aan hun solocarrière. John Moore huwde Sarah Nixey in 2001.
