For the first time ever the first two Boris albums ("Absolutego & "Amplifier Worship") are being issued via Southern Lord on 180 gram double vinyl, deluxe gatefold packages!
Due to the enormous length of the songs as well as the originally crafted flow of the albums they were previously only available on compact disc. After much deliberation and clever editing the albums massive content was made ready for vinyl!
The albums artwork has also been given a tasteful overhaul by Southern Lord graphic wizard Stephen O'Malley. The second album from Japans' most eclectic and heavy band ever! They took the bludgeon of the first album and crafted it into song structures creating a often imitated blue print for band to follow in the future!
Southern Lord proudly announces an incredible collaboration between label artists Boris and Ian Astbury of The Cult and The Doors! This finely-crafted four-song mini release, simply entitled BXI, was tracked and mixed in Tokyo in late April. Astbury’s vocals are a perfect match for Boris’s straightforward, laid-back, but still raw and imaginative songwriting constructed for the EP; another intriguing display within the band’s ever-morphing, extensive résumé of releases, tours and collaborations.
