OK onto Boris who has a new album out on that fun Southern Lord album. So we were listening to this the other day and it mightily rocks indeed. It's much more melodic than I thought it would be and it sounds like a direct mash up of The Stooges, Melvins and My Bloody Valentine (again). If you want some decent rock music these folks sound like they do the proper thing compared to all of these charlatans that are out there at the moment. Scuzzy 70's fuzzed out acid rock bursting with melody and droney tones. This is well bum..... nice pink artwork courtesy of Stephen O Malley

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Continuing with their extremely prolific output, Southern Lord is proud to unleash the US version of: PINK. Followers of the band already know that each release Boris will do something unexpected, entirely unique, and continually forging in a new direction. PINK is absolutely no exception! However, for possibly the first time these new recordings effectively combine all the strongest elements of what Boris is capable of into one solid, complete, concise album. Pink has it all: Ultra-heavy drone, dark psychelia, 70's fuzzed out acid rock, balls out punk rawk, all fused with a dose of ultra-catchy melodicism. This Southern Lord version also contains expanded audio content not found on the Japanese issue. (*USA version of the cd contains the same audio as the the ultra-limited Pink Lp version) As with all previous Boris releases on Southern Lord, the packaging is uniquely psychedelic with the utmost attention to detail created by Stephen O' Malley. PINK comes with different packaging then the japanese version including 3 perforated acid-tab cards!
