Boredoms

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Of all the artists in Japan's thriving noise-music community, the Boredoms undoubtedly had the most fun. Although their maniacally extreme cacophony was by no means accessible listening, it was underpinned by a gleeful sense of humor that helped them find a limited (but still surprisingly wide) audience among alternative rockers. A typical Boredoms track might feature massively distorted guitars, squealing synths, any number of odd found-object noisemakers, or studio-manipulation effects; conventional song structures are thrown out the window in favor of abrupt, whiplash...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Long regarded as musical pioneers, Boredoms have continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for over 20 years. Their albums and their performances defy categorization, each one a completely unique event. The one commonality is that the members of the Boredoms have amazing technical skills as musicians, limitless imagination and the ability to combine the two as no others have. Super Roots 10 features a remix from Norwegian artist Lindstrom, as well as Japanes   [ read more ]

There may be no other band in the world that has traced an evolution as simultaneously varied yet focused as Japan's Boredoms. Across nearly 20 years, founder and leader Eye has taken the band on the equivalent of a road trip, from the early swamps of chaos through times of tribal frenzy, oceanic tranquility, and even near prog-rock sonic constructions. On this record, two lengthy tracks manage a paradoxical blending of peaceful waves of sound with intense, churning rhythmic moments.

"Collecting the contents of the band's first two Japanese releases, Onanie Bomb shows that, from the start, the Boredoms were interested in musical chaos of a most unique degree. Rough but not lo-fi, Onanie rips, stomps, and explodes all over the place in several directions at once. Purists might object to calling some of what is whipped up 'songs,' but the goofy insanity in the death-march-meets-squalling-cartoon-voices of 'We Never Sleep,' and even the song titles that reach beyond over the top, like 'Lic   [ read more ]

It can still be said that they're the Boredoms, but it can also be said that they're not simply content to totally repeat themselves, established as the band's general formula is. The crowned princes and princesses of wackoaggro, here the Boredoms start to let more of their prog-rock fascination creep in, often doing so to brilliant effect. [ read more ]

Third installment of this awesome BORE-manip program in which Krush works out (of) the back-catalogue over 44:51. 808 bass bombs, large amounts of guitar noise, some great gated phased drum bits (a nod towards early minimalism? you decide), parts of certain choons left intact, morphed with others. Surprisingly not the low-bit late-night crackle-pop stoner hip hop jam we were all expecting but something... slightly more challenging in a way, with a good deal of plunderphonia, digital editing, etc...

"In what appears to be a match made in heaven (hell?), the Boredoms have enlisted Mo' Wax's UNKLE (James Lavelle and Richard File) to assemble this 'Dysfunctional Monster Jam', a lengthy (by Warner Japan standards) 46:01 non-stop DJ mix of various records from the Eye and Co.'s catalog, and it's a killer. This is trance music in the Paleolithic sense of the word, with occasional breakbeats and scratching (courtesy of the Nextmen); more of a reminder that the Boredoms still have a lot more in common with Amo   [ read more ]
