Hellabuster is the second studio album by the band Box Codax, released in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2011. In the first full-length release since their album Only An Orchard Away in 2006, Box Codax tell the peculiar and young life of Hellabuster in 13 episodes, with each song being accompanied by its own video.
The NME awarded the album for its disco-prog eccentricity 7/10, with Emily Mackay of NME writing about the album: "the whole is an eccentric gem that pulls you back again and again." The songs, which move between skweded disco, post punk and glammier studio prog were accentuated by 13 videos, proving their artistic approach to music and the originality of the band. The video for the stripped-down acoustic song "Dawning", directed by Turner Prize winning artist Martin Creed, received much critical acclaim.
All tracks written by Nick McCarthy (music), Manuela Gernedel (lyrics) and Alexander Ragnew (lyrics).
