The Boredoms proper go for the spiritual trancendental mantra stuff on 'Super Roots 9' which is out on Thrill Jockey in a stunning gatefold CD package with booklet. This is ridiculously over the top and dramatic and epic sounding with huge choirs of angels singing and gargantuan, enormous crashing drums. Really cinematic sounding and I think its been recorded live. One long track of mental psychedelic drum rituals with some crazy swirling keys. Lord knows how many drummers they've got on the go here. Come worship in the church of the boredoms.Bloody ace like.Long regarded as musical pioneers, Boredoms have continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for over 20 years.
Boredoms’ albums and their performances defy categorization, each one a completely unique event. The one commonality is that the members of Boredoms have amazing technical skills as musicians, limitless imagination, and the ability to combine the two as no others have.
Now, the first new edition in eight years to their Super Roots series, ‘Super Roots 9’, finally gets a worldwide release. ‘Super Roots 9’ is a recording of a live show on Christmas Eve in 2004, in Japan. The performance featured a 24-person choir alongside the group. ‘Super Roots 9’ is the first live recording of the band ever released. The CD, packaged in a special custom-made mini gatefold LP style jacket, will feature artwork by EYE and a 40-page perfect bound booklet with music scores and notations.
Boredoms member Yoshimi also fronts the band OOIOO, who have released numerous albums on Thrill Jockey.
