Boris Smile for New Album
Boris/Merzbow split out now
Typically, April showers bring May flowers, but blooming could be harder after the downpour of arrows, tanks, napalm, and other destructively bad-ass things that comes when Boris release a new album next April via Southern Lord.
The official studio follow-up to the killer Pink is called Smile, and it features contributions from previous collaborators such as Michio Kurihara and Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley.
There's not much other info about Smile available, but we have high hopes that Boris can stick to a release timetable better than Brian Wilson. In fact, the band will precede the album's release with a single on CD and seven-inch as well as a new video.
And remember that Boris/Merzbow live split we mentioned a while back? It's out now on Southern Lord. This latest collaboration between Boris and Merzbow spreads 13 tracks across two discs and comes on CD in groovy die-cut gatefold packaging designed by Southern Lord/Sunn O)))'s O'Malley.
Boris have three tour dates left this year, starting with a show in Tokyo tomorrow, November 30.
