Japanese trio Boris premiere an unreleased track from the 10th anniversary deluxe reissue of Pink today via NPR listen HERE.
Boris will launch a full North American headlining tour in July in which they will perform Pink in its entirety. The band’s new Sargent House labelmates Earth will play all dates except two in Canada. Please see complete dates below.
Pitchfork previously announced the deluxe edition release with the premiere of “Are You Ready?”HERE.
The deluxe 3xLP box set and 2xCD features an entire album of previously unreleased tracks recorded during the Pink album sessions in 2004-2005. The bonus Forbidden Songs collects 9 tracks of the same hyperactive, accessible and aggressive caliber of the original album, available here for the first time, mixed (with additional editing and arrangement) in 2015 and mastered in January 2016. Like the original U.S. vinyl release, the Pink (Deluxe Edition) LP set has three longer edits of songs that were truncated on the original CD issue (“Farewell”, “Pseudo-Bread” and “My Machine”). Otherwise, both the LP and CD versions have the same audio as the 2006 release. And,Pink (Deluxe Edition) also features the artwork of the original Japanese release, made by the band members themselves.
Pink succeeds at what most bands cannot do: swiftly changing styles from song to song, while always sounding distinctly like themselves. The seamless, explosive set of fan favorites from the classic longtime lineup of drummer/vocalist Atsuo, guitarist/vocalist Wata and bassist/guitarist/vocalist Takeshi still sounds as mindblowing as it did a decade ago. And,Forbidden Songs continues with the same unbridled creativity and ferocity. These songs aren’t outliers, they’re rather more like the director’s cut version of the original album.
Pink (Deluxe Edition) will be available everywhere (excluding Japan) on July 8th on 3xLP box set, 2xCD and download via Sargent House. iTunes pre-orders include a free immediate download of “Are You Ready?” HERE, 3xLP box set and 2xCD are available for pre-order via Hello Merch.
