BeSt BORIS AlBuM PoLL

New album in January

And new single now, with a rather good cover version

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.

And a new new one announced

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.)

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.
