What their label says...

Now available on limited edition double grey vinyl in silver foil-printed gatefold sleeve with 2 bonus tracks not on the CD and two different mixes!. European exclusive.
Highly anticipated new album from Boris, set to be by far their biggest album to date.
On Smile, Boris’ brush paints deeply intense blistering psychedelia, mammoth hooks, innovative song-writing, and a reinvention of dark heaviness.
lIt features collaborative guests: Stephen O’ Malley (Sunn0))), KTL), and Michio Kurihara (Ghost, White Heaven, The Stars).
They are searching for sounds that are also an extension of life and the many experiences they have had in the two years that have passed since the release of Pink. In their quest Boris are drawing upon unconventional influences such as: obscure Hair Metal, Japanese cartoon songs, and ’80s Japanese pop singers to help shape the bands new
directions.
They are unafraid to embrace different sounds that are definitely not hip or cool within the context of accepted Rock, Noise, or Drone music. These bold moves are really nothing new from the band that basically changes with every release with a conscious effort to not repeat what they have done in the past. Smile is a new sound which represents everything that is RIGHT NOW. Boris hope "this is going to be a new experience for everyone beyond ’music’.

Beautiful and intricate packaging that the band has come to be known for.
