Boxwell is Swiss-English musician Max Jappert’s Zurich-based musical blog. Boxwell creates electronic chamber pop to circle in on and give thanks to the many faces of intense beauty. It is an agnostic celebration of the divine, of sunrises, lying under trees, fresh laundry and powdery snow. Characterised by delicate arrangements backed by programmed drum sequences and confessional lyrics, Boxwell reminds of Sufjan Stevens, Björk, The Notwist, Big Thief, etc.
Boxwell was created as an outlet for Max’s long-standing habit of producing music. After a nine-year engagement with the Basel band Weird Fishes, Boxwell has become their main creative outlet, having grown into a distinct and unique aesthetic with remarkable depth.
Boxwell started performing in 2022 and in 2023 released their debut album Tilt, co-produced by Konstantin Aebli (Lost in Lona, Pina Palau), followed by the self-produced EP Mutton Place a year later. Boxwell’s second EP In Circles in set to be released during summer 2025 under A Tree In A Field Records.
