hut旗下的著名低调乐队auteurs的灵魂及前卫人物luke haines与两个毕业于戏剧学院的年轻人Sarah Nixey和John Moore组建了这支玩票式乐队：black box recorder。从auteurs最近的那张恶毒的专辑“after murder park”的黑色噪音里挣脱的luke，在音乐表层上不知不觉地陷入一种微妙、细腻、蜜糖般沉着文静的情趣中去，而更多的原因在于"两个临时"演员“——john唯美而保守的和谐吉他点弦与sarah沉闷疲倦、冷静得有些骇人并固袭默守的嗓音所赋予的特性，这亦是这张唱片卒听似是源自4ad的原因——标准英式的对于沉着从容而易使人心迷神乱的情节的酿造，厌世并避世的幽雅的童话故事及绝望疯癫的金斯勃格与不安的叶芝的融合体。

唱片所宣扬的情绪是用玫瑰与绸缎装点的炼狱，滴入沥青的咖啡或接近腐烂的艳尸。那是一个无光的，luke乐于勾画的丧心病狂却凄艳绝伦的临界空间：冷淡、单调、凄惨、缺乏生机的音乐语言叙述着感情的迟钝、精神的瓦解、末日的象徽。这是一部献给麻木灵魂的凄美的安魂曲，对被现代物质破坏并扭曲的童真精心布置的一场豪华的守丧。一方面又焚燃了自我精神祭祀的大旗。它有计划地去保持一种对毁灭的感怀，在他的第一首单曲“child psychology”这个眩晕的音乐旋涡里，一个患自闭症的6岁小孩刻意游离着父母的关爱，蔑视着烦琐的心理疗程，他随时随地只呆滞地嘟囔着：“人生黑暗……”；音乐里它成功地在乐部与文本之间营造出了剑拔弩张的紧张与对立，用一种肯呢感会引发瓦解的简单，将女声破碎的唱腔拼版于稀疏而冗长的间奏与念白里，朴素的节奏与灰黄的音乐框架贴合了音乐意识的核心与本质，它摇晃着诱惑了心灵底层的悸动。此种音乐表白方式同样适用与唱片里的其他曲目。

专辑最为人称道亦有些人云亦云的地方是90年代以来另类音乐一条不成文的惯例：用易碎的少女唱腔渲染灵魂的流放，如low,mazzy star之类，它密谋着最有效地揭示情节细节的方式，寻找着迅速回归精神本原的捷径：年轻、性感、甜腻、美好的声音与阴冷忧郁的思想，悲苦而歇斯底里地抒情。这点上bbr是异常准确而深邃的，并不惜做得过分出位。bbr阐明了你我的处境并提供了选择：在黑暗中腐烂，或在黑暗中化蝶.没有意外的话，这张不起眼的地下作品将是98年度英伦吉他音乐里最具革新思想，并相当诚恳的一张专辑。

在2008年末据报道，乐队将在2009年2月18日在Luminaire, Kilburn, London演出。

虽然2009年计划出专辑，但是却迟迟未发行。在2010年10月16日，乐队宣布在发行最后一支单曲之后解散。

Black Box Recorder were 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.

Black Box Recorder were Sarah Nixey, Luke Haines (of The Auteurs), and John Moore (formerly of The Jesus and Mary Chain). Moore and Nixey married in 2001, and have one child. They 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.

Although an album was planned for 2009, the record never was released. On 16 April 2010, the band announced it would split after releasing a final single, "Keep It in the Family" b/w "Do You Believe in God?" on 6 May 2010.
