Boris Detail New Album, ‘W’

The record is billed as a companion piece to their 2020 LP 'No'

Boris have a new album on the way.

Titled W, it’s intended as a companion piece to 2020 album No, and marks the Japanese band’s debut on Sacred Bones. Above, you can watch a video for lead track ‘Drowning By Numbers’.

In a statement about the video, the band said: "This video was filmed at a private showcase with limited invitation in April of 2021. It is a collaborative performance with a contemporary dance team. The song was transformed from its original performance and visualised; a big hat dances symbolically at the beginning of the new album."

Sacred Bones will release W on January 21, 2022.
