Smile

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! The mighty Boris release their official follow-up to the much lauded Pink, defying fan's expectations and expanding their musical palette further than ever before. Their first non-collaborative release in two years, Smile is a natural progression of the work the band has done in partnership with bands such as Sunn o))) and guitarist Michio Kurihara. That's not to say that just because the release doesn't share ownership with another artist that the band doesn't bring along some friends for the ride. Both Kurihara and Sunn o)))'s Stephen O'Mally turn in contributions to Smile, but in the end this is pure Boris. Are you ready to Smile?
