Boris - New Album

Released: 28/11/2011 Sargeant House
Japanese noise funsters Boris drop their third album in the last eight months. As always with this lot, it's quite a surprise. Renowned for their droney sludge, the band have drawn on the dominance of the Vocaloid (a song-generating tool) in Japanese chart music and produced a melodious pop album.

The A.V. Club“A joyous celebration of sheer sensory overload...” Technically speaking, New Album isn’t a new album at all, but it does illuminate a strong, striking new direction for Boris—although it’s anyone’s guess where the fearlessly evolving group might leap next...

Pitchfork“The band struggle to write songs outside their area of expertise...” As pretty as it can be, New Album is another minor Boris album in a string of minor Boris albums...
