Boris

Mojo · 07-31-2009, 06:20 AM

I listened to Feedbacker for the first time recently and it's very drone-heavy. Really a fantastic record to get lost in. As was mentioned on the last page their output is so frequent that there are still plenty of Boris records to investigate. With the recent addition of Feedbacker I still only have 5 of them and the fantastic collab with Sunn O))).

I got to see them live a couple of years back at a very small venue in Newcastle. A fantastic local psychedelic band formed by a couple of lads I know supported them too and it was a great night. Boris are unrelenting live, whether their sets are predominantly ambient, drone, heavy it really doesnt matter, they are just full on for the full duration.

Aw, ****, dude. I was getting on here to talk about Feedbacker. I can't get enough of it. What albums do you have by them? Lucky you got to see them. Feedbacker has lulled me into deep sleeps and drives many times (not at the same time!), so I'm wondering if it's helped your insomnia. I've got loads of Boris albums I can up them sometime for ya if you'd like, considering you were the one who introduced me to them.

Feedbacker is ferocious, started getting into their other work last month. Flood is also pretty great.

What other albums do you have?

Boris is a band that has many moods, but it seems you can always count on them being intense. I prefer it when they crank their amps up to 11 and produce glorious noise rock, but can also appreciate their drone buildup/crescendos. The first two tracks of Akuma no Uta are vintage Boris as the contrast dark and heavy drone with ear splitting noise rock bombast.

At the moment I have Feedbacker, Flood and Amplifier Worship. Probably going to digest the others later on when I'm in the mood.

New album on the way, single and artwork released.

Wow, I can't believe I had abandoned this thread for so long. What gives? No Boris listeners on here?

Well, at least it's better than stoner rock Boris, but I still devoutly miss the good ol' drone days. Feedbacker, Flood and whatnot. Their music really doesn't paint any pictures anymore, which is pretty upsetting.

I actually really like it. I'll listen to the album for sure. Feedbacker is their peak though, don't think they'll ever match it.
