Nick McCarthy’s Box Codax Reveals New Album

Franz Ferdinand aren’t guitarist Nick McCarthy’s only band, no - there’s his side-project Box Codax too.

The Glaswegian trio - McCarthy alongside Manuela Gernedel and Alexander Ragnew - have just announced details of a new album, their second, and the follow up to 2006’s ‘Only An Orchard Away’.

It’s titled ‘Hellabuster’, and will be released on Germany’s Gomma records on 9th May.

The long-player has been part-produced by Metronomy’s Joseph Mount, and it has a bit of a concept going on as it’s about ‘the young years of the peculiar and private life of a boy named Hellabuster.’

The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Hellabuster
2. Seven Silvers
3. Radical Plains
4. Choco Pudding
5. Pour Moi
6. I Won’t Come Back
7. Charade
8. Nothing More Than Anything
9. Sandy Moffat
10. Inanimate Inamorato
11. My Room
12. No Trains
13. Dawning
