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:

Now that's something to smile about.

As previously mentioned, Smile will be preceded by a limited-edition single for "Statement", due February 26 on Southern Lord.
