The Boston Typewriter Orchestra turns tools into instruments

If you’ve never been acquainted, don’t overthink it—the Boston Typewriter Orchestra is exactly what it sounds like, a band of antique Underwood and Royal-toting music-makers who bang keys and return bells like a rogue secretarial Boston Pops doppelganger.

Beyond their rare live performances, the “band had never been able to capture the real weightiness of their sound [on a recording],” but “a witchy autumnal trip to Salem resulted in a recording session with Converge’s Kurt Ballou at God City,” and subsequently their debut, Workstation to Workstation.

Available on vinyl, because of course it is.
