Boris
Over the past couple years Japan's most powerful power trio Boris have gone from underground cult obscurity to a critically acclaimed and must hear band. Beginning in 2000 with Absolutego, then 2003's Amplifier Worship, and last year's Akuma No Uta, each album gets stronger and gathers a larger following then the one that proceeded it. Last year also saw Boris bring their incredible live show to us, playing select sold out dates across Europe. Continuing with their extremely prolific output, Southern Lord is proud to unleash the brand new studio album from Boris: PINK. Followers of the band already know that each release Boris will do something unexpected, entirely unique, and continually forging in a new direction. PINK is absolutely no exception! However, for possibly the first time these new recordings effectively combine all the strongest elements of what Boris is capable of into one solid, complete, concise album. The mega-drone of Amplifier Worship is apparent in songs like: 'Blackout', the balls-out punk rock is evident in 'Nothing Special' and 'Six, Three Times', extreme dark-psychedelia manifests itself in 'Afterburner' and (if that wasn't more than enough) the 70's fuzzed out acid rock is represented in foot stomping title track 'Pink'. The clincher on PINK and new element that is brought to the table is a infusion of ultra-catchy melodicism into their already heavy foundation. The album opener and closer as well as title track contain infectious vocal melodies that combined with intelligent song-writing create a solidified, undeniable union. As with all previous Boris releases on Southern Lord, the packaging is uniquely psychedelic with the utmost attention to detail created by Stephen O'Malley. PINK comes with a die-cut cover that when opened reveals 3 perforated acid-tab cards!
