Seven tracks of super-freaked and triple-tweaked Japanese gone-rock hypertronix from EYE, YAMAMOTOR, YOSHIMI P-WE, ATR, and HIRA. Digitally damaged metal, loopy electronics, skreed psych wanderlust, and tasty licks of general mayhem. 'Handcrap' all around.

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. Puris   [ read more ]

Spazmo-transonic rhythm: first came the idea, then came the action, and then it got hot. Like the birth of the atomic age, a first-time Boredoms experience stuns you with sheer brilliance.

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.
