COMMENTS
As you may know, Boris are perhaps Japan's
number one Melvins worshippers! But that's
not to say they're unoriginal, rather the
opposite, since the Melvins themselves are so
unpredictable and eccentric. But in terms of
heaviness, Boris measure up. Though they thew
us for a loop with this, their third
full-length album. Yep, it's not cheap, but
there's no US release planned anytime soon or
ever as far as we know. And anyway, as we'll
explain, it's well worth the money. Like
their drone-behemoth debut Absolutego, Flood
is just one long song (broken into tracks on
the cd for convenience, we suppose). But
unlike Absolutego (or any other Boris stuff
we've heard), the heaviness is kept in
reserve. Instead, this starts off with a very
pretty, repeating guitar figure that
gradually starts to layer and loop in upon
itself. It's quite mellow and meditative. As
the disc progresses, momentary echoes of doom
emerge from the sonic background, like
thunder in the distance, or waves crashing on
shore. Meanwhile, the guitars, joined by
drums, spin a quiet, gorgeous, dreamlike
hypnosis sounding like something somewhere
between Gastr del Sol and kosmische krautrock
(Agitation Free, Gunter Schickert). Or Eddie
Hazel's Funkadelic solo psych guitar
masterpiece "Maggot Brain" stretched into
infinity. Flood is a minimalist, psychedelic,
post-rock masterpiece that can only be
compared to the Melvins the way something
like Bohren & Der Club of Gore can -- with an
understanding that heaviness isn't always all
about loudness and riffage. (And, well, even
if it did get Melvins heavy at some point, we
wouldn't tell you, 'cause you need to hear
this unfold for yourself.) Brilliant.
