Anything Box is an American electronic/synthpop musical group hailing from Paterson, New Jersey. Formed in 1986 by lead singer and chief songwriter Claude S., along with bandmates Dania Morales and Paul Rijnders, they blend a mix of melodic synth sounds with a poetic lyrical approach that has earned them a dedicated fan base in the electro-pop community. The band's name was inspired by the title of a speculative fiction book, suggesting an eclectic and expansive approach to their music.
The band first made a notable splash on the music scene with their 1990 debut album "Peace," which included the hit single "Living in Oblivion." This track achieved significant play in dance clubs and on alternative radio stations, propelling them to a position of renown within the New Wave revival scene of the late '80s and early '90s. Over the years, Anything Box has maintained a consistent output, marked by a commitment to the DIY ethos and a penchant for introspective lyrics paired with danceable beats. While the specific lineup has seen changes, Claude's vision has steered releases such as "Elektrodelica" and "The Universe Is Expanding," showcasing a band that evolves while staying true to its roots. Their dedicated fanbase has followed them through various iterations and stylistic shifts, resonating with the group’s authenticity and innovative spirit.
