Boris - SmileChoice Tracks - "Buzz-In" , "You Were Holding An Umbrella"
This is some psychedelic stoner shit right here. If you've never heard of Boris, they're an experimental rock band from Japan. The name comes from a song by The Melvins, and not surprisingly their influence is present in a large sampling of Boris's work. Smile is, believe it or not, the fourteenth full length album from Boris and it brings a pleasantly overwhelming variety of sounds that I find to be very immersive. Its got what fans of the heavy stuff crave, with heavy distortion and droning guitar sequences. There are vocals on every track of the album (something unusual for Boris) and they are sung by three of the four band members mostly in a mellowing Japanese. After listening to Smile I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point as much as say Pink, but it's certainly an album that you'll come back to for all the right reasons.
