...The Tin Box returns with the sparkling Play, another beguiling effort sure to draw new fans to the fold. Given the fact that each release is only $1, it’s impossible to go wrong. Those in need of an emotional boost will find Play a perfect panacea.

Tucker Sferro’s music is laden with bells, honoring the moniker by providing the impression of a music box. One may think of chimes, a thumb piano, a calliope, or a generative, sun-activated outdoor sculpture. A curious tone results from a mixture of compositional and improvisational techniques. One is not always able to predict where the next note will land. Yet the music is intensely melodic; the music box dancer has no difficulty twirling in time.

An association of music boxes with childhood lends the set a comforting, nostalgic sheen. Midway through “Treasures,” the bells shimmer and twinkle like a blanket of stars on a cold winter’s night. “Constellations” makes the connection even more evident. This peaceful, positive music is the natural outgrowth of a discography whose titles include Joy and Optimism. Percussive repetition creates a trancelike feeling in “Communion,” as befits its spiritual base. We suspect that the title refers more to a feeling of oneness than to the celebration of a rite, but either interpretation fits.
