First off: an apology. Sometimes we get so busy pawing through Decemberists album cover news that we miss something big. And so we're late to the punch on this one: Super Roots 10, the latest entry in the ongoing EP series from monolithic Osaka scene kingpins the Boredoms, is out now. It exists. There aren't any copies up on Ebay yet, but if you keep a watchful eye out, you can probably own a copy for somewhere in the low triple-digits.

The EP went on sale last Wednesday, though CDJapan says that the first pressing is already completely sold out, unsurprisingly enough. The EP comes with typically headache-inducing cover art from frontman EYE, who also produced the thing. Thrill Jockey, the band's U.S. label, has no word on an American release, so tough titties and happy downloading.

The tracklist mentions a remix from Norwegian space-disco master Lindstrøm. Given that the Boredoms and Lindstrøm are basically the only two entities on the planet capable of producing 20-minute tracks that we can bear listening to all the way through, this is pretty much a genius pairing. There's also a remix from someone named DJ Finger Hat, which is such an awesome DJ name.

All the info on the Boredoms' site is in Japanese, and Babelfish is typically unhelpful: "Unexpectedness the seizure rhythm which is attached, the destruction heaven it is rough the vocal and tape operation ......And so on it consists sound, the bold approach use for music the music life body which you are proud in outer space saying, is not overstatement." Actually, that's probably exactly how the Boredoms meant to phrase it.
Super Roots 10:

01 Super Rooy
02 Ant 10
03 Ant 10 / Estereo 10 (Remix by Altz)
04 Ant 10 (Remix by DJ Finger Hat)
05 Ant 10 (Remix by DJ Lindstrøm)
06 Ant 10 / Mineral Dub Break (Remix by Altz)

I like that they call Lindstrøm "DJ Lindstrøm."
