New Boris album and dates

02.20.2008, 06:40 AM

Turn that grin rightside up, detail-mongers: Boris' Smile has itself a tracklist. The eight-song LP, due March 7 in Japan on Diwphalanx and April 21 in the UK and Europe and April 29 in the U.S. on Southern Lord, runs the gamut from such cutesy cuteness as "Flower Sun Rain" (a cover of a song originally by PYG, and featuring pal Michio Kurihara on guitar) to the more domestically menacing "My Neighbor Satan" (also featuring Kurihara). Now there's a guy I wouldn't "BUZZ-IN" if he locked his keys in his apartment.
Southern Lord overlord/ Sunn 0))) doomsayer Stephen O'Malley also contributes, lending guitar to an untitled track.
While the album cover (pictured above) for the Southern Lord version of Smile is pretty sweet, check out the Japanese artwork:

Can't wait to hear this.
Nice cover as usual.

sonicl · 02.20.2008, 07:59 AM

I'm seeing them on Sunday. They may preview the album, but I won't know unless someone tells me.

█████████ · 02.20.2008, 08:33 AM

it would be nice if they got booked somewhere around here.

jimbrim · 02.20.2008, 10:04 AM

Should be good.

batreleaser · 02.20.2008, 10:16 AM

Why The Fuck Do I Have To Wait Till The 29!?!?!?

Everyneurotic · 02.20.2008, 11:06 AM

listened to it already, it rules; it's weird and it rules.

vulva · 02.20.2008, 02:33 PM

I really really like it. It's very strange, and one track is almost Floyd-like. It's awesomeness though.

atsonicpark · 02.20.2008, 05:07 PM

Yes, got this the other day, it's good stuff.

One thing, I wish they had different production for it. I know some people like the dirty nasty production, but I prefer the "heavy rocks" production to the "pink" production, for example. No big deal either way... just sayin'.

Tokolosh · 02.20.2008, 05:56 PM

It is nasty. I thought it was my speakers.
I like it. Need to listen to it a few more times.

Rob Instigator · 02.20.2008, 06:01 PM

gots to get it

bought the re-issue of pink and it made my cock tingle. this will be great~!

krastian · 02.20.2008, 06:19 PM

Hopefully they'll add more tour dates....missed them the last time they were in DC.

Still need to hear the new record though.

gmku · 02.20.2008, 06:21 PM

I love Pink.

Boris is good, man.

Is Smile going to be out vinyl?

jonathan · 02.20.2008, 08:41 PM

It would almost be worth a trip to NYC to see Boris with Growing...

gmku · 02.20.2008, 08:45 PM

Concerts are too hard to get to. I'll just buy a T-shirt.

Everyneurotic · 02.20.2008, 09:09 PM

parts of the drums sound like they are programmed but it sure fits.

batreleaser · 02.20.2008, 09:41 PM

boris=the most consistenly brilliant band going right now

agreed?

i mean they dont have any records (and they have A LOT OF THEM) that are anything less than very good, and many of them are nothing short of absolutley ROCK FUCKING TASTIC! nawaddaimsayin?

krastian · 02.20.2008, 10:00 PM

Those buds are hypnotizing.

Yeah, it's very different but you can still tell that it's a Boris album.
