Boxer — 2007

Slow-burning, literate indie rock built on Berninger's baritone and intricate drumming. Understated and rewarding. The album that won them devotion. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.

On vinyl: 2000s vinyl is increasingly rare second-hand — a repress is usually the easiest route.
