With a mere two tracks and less than eight minutes long, wouldn’t this be a single?
Yup, I went there.
On the positive side, it’s not easy to make out the words.
Fuck yeah, Boris!
Something like drowning out supermarket muzak with a leafblower.
Thank you, I believe I will.
I liked it better than the original! Which, ahhh, isn’t, ya know, really saying much, ahem.
Now someone should give it the “St Paul at the End of the World” treatment and stretch it out by like 40X or 100X as long. Now I’m going to go listen to my collection of overstretched music.
Boris is sick. This is super shoegazey for them and I love it but I also love everything they do.
In Japan, “Last Christmas” is played as much as Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
So, yeah…a lot.
Can’t find it on Spotify. Is it me or is Spotify a bit spotty?
“by a Japanese noise rock band” lollllll
But OK, maybe I sometimes forget the circles I travel in I guess?
(They’re one of the most important bands of the last 2½ decades, and deserve to be in the post title is what I’m sayin’)
