The mighty Boredoms have their 'Super Roots 10' out on vinyl, however it's not really an album but a double 12" set that comes with remixes. The track is called 'ANT' so 10/10 there. On first listen I was slightly underwhelmed but on second spin I'm digging it a bit more. It's like a glorious psychedelic Japanese carnival with all the drums pounding and clattering away. It really doesn't sound like anyone else out there. Brett and I are both fans and I'm inclined to agree with him that they've done this thing better in the past. I guess they set themselves a high standard. The Lindstrom remix as you would expect has him giving proceedings a disco twist with some cosmic action. There are also two mixes from Alts and one of them has a totally riiculous guitar.The poster that comes with it is very cool as it's splattered with Eye's day-glo psyechedlic drawings and collage madness.

Long regarded as musical pioneers, Boredoms have
continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for
over 20 years. Their albums and their performances defy
categorization, each one a completely unique event. The one
commonality is that the members of the Boredoms have
amazing technical skills as musicians, limitless imagination, and
the ability to combine the two - as no others have.

‘Super Roots 10’ features a remix from Norwegian artist
Lindstrøm, who has released music on the label Smalltown
Supersound and has also done remixes for artists as varied as
Franz Ferdinand, LCD Soundsystem, and The Juan
McClean. Also featured is a remix from Japanese artist Altz,
who has recorded albums for Bear Funk and Jet Set Records
Japan, and previously done remixes for Boredoms in addition
to Tal M. Klein, Cro-Magnon, and On Mouth Sextet.

This is the first Super Roots release available on domestic vinyl.
‘Super Roots 10’ is pressed on two high quality virgin vinyl
LPs cut at 45rpm for maximum fidelity. The album comes
with a 24”x24” full colour poster that features artwork from
Boredoms’ EYE. ‘Super Roots 10’ is limited to 2,000 copies
worldwide.
