The new album Smile, from Japanese post-everything gods Boris, found it's way into my hands this afternoon and after only half a listen, I am officially floored. And while they may have abandond their drone metal past, Boris keeps pushing forward with every new release (this one being their first non-collaboration in over two years) and the results of the latest is a psychedelic experience in sound, emotion and electricity, er, not really. But this album is doing weird things to my body and mind. I would suggest just giving these mp3's a listen.
mp3:放て!
mp3:花・太陽・雨
Southern Lord will release Smile in the US on April 29, along with translated track titles.
