notes

"Keram has made what has to be one of the most compelling albums of this last year. Any one of these 9 cuts could conceivably make it onto rotation; pick up a copy of this album and learn who Keram is before everyone else does." - NeuFutur Magazine

"Malicki-Sanchez’s album, “Box”, is packed with intensely warm-hearted harmonies, rich vocals, and passionate guitars and piano." - MousaGenre Reviews

"Box is an acoustic collection of ballads, rich in self exposure and warmth of tone and soul. When not contemplating the twists and turns of affairs of the heart, Keram settles heavily on the theme of death. Whatever life-altering incident caused his subdued yet noticeable cynical disposition to surface may have altered how he pictured the world, but it brings out an intense determination that gets infused into his music." - Pitch Perfect Reviews

Founder of seminal Toronto act Blue Dog Pict and the Constant Change Music label, Keram's songs have been featured on various film soundtracks including "Uptown Girls" (Nettwerk), Happy Campers (New Line) and "Broken" starring Heather Graham with whom Keram co-starred in a video for his song "The Hanging Tree". Heather Graham also sings lead vocal for the song in the film. The song became the feature track on a subsequent soundtrack, which features a variety of songs by Brian Jonestown Massacre (Fuel 2000 Records, 2008.)

As an actor, Keram is known for playing the comic villain Ink in Punisher: War Zone from Lionsgate Films and Marvel Comics. He has also appeared in 24, CSI, ER and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

On his new release Box, he gives voice to the long-developing acoustic side of his artistry. Recording the album came about as he and longtime collaborator Josh Joudrie were tracking vocals for a full-band supersonic rock electronica fusion project called Come To Life. Keram decided to take the opportunity to further capture some of the acoustic material he had developed at Hollywood's popular showcase spot Hotel Café. He plans to release Come To Life in the fall 2009.

Box is a quiet contemplative album that belies the quirky cleverness of Keram's fertile imagination - sneaking broken record players, faulty echo machines and household percussion in and around the deceptively simple acoustic guitar and piano compositions.

His particular breed of indie folk-rock carries a subtle sophistication that pins down the meandering guitars and found objects that underscore his poignant and insightful lyrics.

  • Good Things In A "Box"
    author: Sara Ballantyne

    This album is full of an eclectic mix of acoustic joys that stimulate my mind, heart and soul. Keram’s voice is one I could listen to continuously…and I do! The songs on this album talk deeply to the spirit of my soul. They are all meaningful expressions of life. There are so many great songs on this album…I could list each and every song for different reasons. “forget it, kid” is a new favourite of mine. The picks and plucks of the guitar strings sing perfectly to my ear drums. I LOVE the update of “in the mourning.” It’s magical…the whole album is magical!!

    I am just loving this cd. Keram is such an amazing artist and his lyrics are wonderful. I can't tell you how many times I have listened to this cd. In the mourning is my favorite song. I hope that Keram keeps up the great work and brings us more.

    I am not good in getting my thoughts into words, but I think trying will be worth it. I am having an amazing time listening to Keram's CD. His voice, his lyrics and his music are just breathtaking. I still haven't decided which is my favourite song of the album. I adore Amelia's tune. I strongly recommend the CD to anyone, you will not be deceived. CD Baby is very reliable and I'm very happy with my purchase :o)

    I have purchased the album "Box" and just received it in the mail today. The entire album is amazing. Keram's voice is flawless and the music is soothing and unique. You can tell the artist has put alot of work into making this album sound amazing. The song "Blue Valentines" gives you an idea of how amazing his voice is. I recommend this artist to anyone. I can't stop listening to the album. <3
