The Boxing Lesson have been releasing a whole slew of videos from their new album Wild Streaks and Windy Days. The latest is a creepy animation for their Pink Floyd-inspired song “Dark Side of the Moog,” which seems to find our three local heroes abandoned on some prehistoric planet. Eric Power, who also provided the animation for the Lovely Sparrows recent “Year of the Dog”, is responsible for creating this dark vision for the Boxing Lesson. Check it out below.

It’s about time to start thinking about Halloween, and the Boxing Lesson have a new video to help you get in the mood. Using the song “Brighter” from the Boxing Lesson’s recent Wild Streaks and Windy Days, director Victor Yiu created the stop-motion animation from over 7000 still photos, and the jittery vibe helps increase the playfully eerie tone of the video. Watch below as Paul Waclawsky and Jaylinn Davidson go tripping through the graveyard!

Earlier this year, the Boxing Lesson released their debut LP, Wild Streaks & Windy Days, which fulfills the promise hinted at on their previous string of EP’s with waves of dark, atmospheric rock and driving indie rhythms. Paul Waclawsky’s golden guitar tones dance close against Jaylinn Davidson’s synths, erupting in swooning moments with an experimental flair. Songs like “Hopscotch and Sodapop” bop with indie-pop bent, “Hanging With the Wrong Crowd” bleeps avant electronics into swaggering guitar, while “Muerta” and the epic 7:30 minute “Lower” floats like Pink Floyd. The trio manages to sweep elusively grand and powerfully direct throughout the album, moments of hypnotic shoegaze such as “The Art of Pushing Me Away” balanced by the infectious punch of “Dance With Meow” or “Dark Side of the Moog.” You can catch the trio live this Thursday, June 12 at the Beauty Bar with Zechs Marquise as part of the Suicide Girls Party.

This is what happens when furries attack. The Boxing Lesson’s new album, Wild Streaks & Windy Days, is out now, and they’ve put together this odd little video for the track “Dance with Meow.” Watch as your favorite animal friends get hammered at Trophy’s and proceed to ransack SoCo and Red River.

The video was directed by Matt Robertson of the Loyalty Firm. You can also catch the Boxing Lesson this Saturday, March 29 at Emo’s Lounge.
