BORIS  Pink (ICY PINK VINYL)  2 x LP   (Southern Lord)   19.98
Pink (ICY PINK VINYL) IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Just reissued on a slightly different configuration of vinyl colors, here's Boris' awesome 2006 album Pink available again on 180 gram vinyl in a thick cardboard gatefold jacket, complete with the three "acid-tab" insert sheets from the CD version included inside of the gatefold package inside of a glassine envelope. Only 1000 pressed!

Here's the stateside release of 2005's Pink, courtesy of Southern Lord. It's a goddamn fantastic new studio blast from the band, starting off with a bleary haze of gorgeous crumbling shoegazer dirge that almost had us fooled into thinking that Boris was going to start copping Jesu/MBV moves...but then they explode into that total destructo fuzzbomb rock that has been the focus of most of their recent albums. Eleven tracks of amped-up stoner/acid rock, saturated in tons of fuzz and reminding us of Guitar Wolf a bit, but totally crushing, every riff is godlike, and the band has incorporated melodies in a whole new way. Ultra rocking, but Boris also inject some of the other sound forms that they have worked with in the past, moving from crushing megadrones, to blasts of ferociously noisy punk rock, to grim psych shades, and there is this ridiculously catchy, dare-we-say downright poppy melodicism that shows up throughout Pink that easily makes this the most accessible Boris album yet, while always remaining a fuzz-drowned acid/rock/sludge juggernaut. We've been jamming this album NON-STOP here at C-Blast, and we think that this might just be the ultimate Boris album, a masterpeice of catchy, epic, psychedelic heavy rock.

Stunning package design with deluxe die-cut artwork by Stephen O'Malley reminds us why we will never accept the MP3 as end-game music format: this stateside edition of Pink comes in gorgeous O'Malley designed case with foldout booklet, inside of which are contained three additinal inserts, all of which have O'Malley's vector-carnage designs on one side, and the other sides sport assorted Bosch/woodcut/acid trip illustrations, and the insterts themselves are perforated in the style of a sheet of acid tabs. Fucking amazing. Highly recommended !!!
