Yet another quick classic from our friends to the East in the form of a new split EP entitled Golden Dance Classics featuring Boris, this time paired with 9dw, an electro-jazz fusion band also from Japan. Once again Boris shines with bright and unrelenting tracks that feature washed-out guitar riffs over blasting drumwork and whip-crack electronics, while 9dw brings their best work to the table as well, stripping away the former band’s shoegaze elements in favor of a dancier, more techno sound that nonetheless doesn’t delve into the realm of kitsch and instead noodles into abstraction and experimentalism. Overall a very worthwhile and interesting EP, very bright and sunny compared to the split with Torche and an excellent addition for any Boris completionist (cough cough, including Cannibal Cheerleader faithful!). Check it:
Boris -”Akirame Flower”
9dw – “Stingray”
On the Boris front, don’t forget the band will be contributing a sizable amount of music to Jim Jarmusch’s new flick The Limits of Control about a lone wolf criminal and his travels through Spain. The film will hopefully receive a wide-run (or at least a DVD release) soon so keep your eyes peeled and check out the trailer below until then!
