BORIS — Japanese Heavy Rock Hits v1

"For over 15 years BORIS has lead the charge as Japan's most exciting experimental rock act. This fall marks yet another first for the band as they release Japanese Heavy Rock Hits, a series of 7-inches showcasing their wide-reaching, genre-smashing sound. The band has been locked in the studio over last few months and in association with Southern Lord they are ready to bring to you their latest offerings. Over the course of the next three months three brand new exclusive vinyl 7-inches will be released. The first, Volume One, features two newly recorded tracks. On Side A, the title track "8" continues the spacy hard-rock sound established on their classic albums Pink and Smile, building from a mono, lo-fi wall of feedback into a ripping, slab of lush vocals, crunchy guitar and thunderous drums. Things get switched up on Side B with "Hey Everyone," a chewy bit of power-pop bubblegum that sees the band mining a much lighter source for their sound. Gorgeous tip-on, heavyweight cardboard jacket designed by STEPHEN O'MALLEY." [label info]
