In 2006, ‘Pink’ was Boris’ 10th album and a major breakthrough that earned new fans outside of the underground metal community – the track ‘Farewell’ was even featured in Jim Jarmusch’s classic film The Limits of Control. The album landed on countless “best of the year” lists from underground metal sites to mainstream rock magazines. And the praise was certainly well deserved for its more accessible sound and explorations into shoegaze and ambient structures alongside brutal noise, searing psychedelia and apocalyptic doom.



Boris celebrate the 10th anniversary of ‘Pink’ with a reissue of the album, which will also include unreleased material from those sessions, entitled ‘Forbidden Songs’. Expect to hear songs from this as well as ‘Pink’ performed in its entirety at The Fleece this December.



“… a supremely well-paced rock’n’roll album… which manages to combine the best elements of classic British shoegaze and Sigur Ros with bliss-out metal faves Jesu and Isis… the bar’s been raised high and early, rockers – don’t bump your head when you try to sneak under it” – Pitchfork
