Boris's latest offering, "hello there", is a sonic behemoth that crashes onto the scene with unrelenting ferocity. Released on 22 March 2024 via Dog Knights Productions, this 39-minute masterpiece is a genre-bending tour de force that defies categorisation. Boris seamlessly blends the heavy, plodding riffs of sludge metal and doom metal with the swirling textures of shoegaze and the atmospheric expanses of post-rock, creating a sound that is at once both beautiful and brutal.
From the opening notes of "Wipeout" to the closing strains of "Serial Tear", Boris takes listeners on a journey through a kaleidoscopic landscape of sound, incorporating the fuzz-laden grooves of stoner rock and the aural experimentation of noise rock and drone. The result is an album that is as captivating as it is challenging, with each of the seven tracks - including "Melody", "Waterbird", "Killing Another", "Luna", and "Quicksilver" - offering a unique perspective on the band's eclectic sound. With "hello there", Boris has crafted an album that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who experience it.
