I'm genuinely shocked by how good it is. I feel like they've been increasingly hit or miss in recent years and that my days of being absolutely wowed by them were in the past, but happily proven wrong with this one.

there was a new single last month too, kind of a tie-in with a boris guitar pedal that earthquaker devices just launched

New one, W, is great! Love how it builds from like this almost subdued, hazy dreampop vibe and builds the noise and sludge as it goes along.

Said new album fucking rules, of course.

I agree. This is great. All these 'Heavy Rocks' are imo

Weird that the 2002 one hasn't gotten a formal rerelease yet. (Glad I have a rip, of course.)
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 19 August 2022 15:17 (one year ago) link
Little late in getting to it but, Ned and gman are correct, the new Heavy Rocks fucking rules.
Would love a rerelease of the 2002 one!

was delighted to discover "rainbow" was available to stream after i'd lost my cd copy and couldn't bear to break the seal on my vinyl copy.
also lol, but perfectly in character with the band, that there are two different boris bands with selective sections of their discography on spotify.

I'm hoping for some sort of physical release for Fade.
