The Boredoms - Super Roots 5 [Very Freindly - 2007]

Super Roots 5 is the next in the series reissue of  the sporadicly  released experimental ep’s  from between 1993 & 1999. This original appeared in 1995 and like volume three consists of one long track, but instead of staying in one place, this wonder all over the place in it’s building might.

It starts off with strange whistling sound and strummed acoustic guitar hippy like drone, added to which we have percussive settling, and layers of odd vocalizations- hell this could almost be an Animal Collective track in the first 6 minutes. At the six minute mark a  charging to war cry is heard, and doomy punk chaos erupts with huge shuddering of instrumentation , still the drone element from the start is present, but everything is increased and distorted. Where the sunlight was trickling in, now the top of your head is ripped open and it pours in as the track progresses, they aptly build and alter the layers of guitar, drone and percussion, at points it almost rolls in like calming distorted sea. Though out the next hour they paint a rich and amassing structure of drone, noise and percussive layers, stopping ever so often for another battle cry, before launching once more into the ocean of sound.

This stands of the highlight of theses reissue thus far and proof positive that The Boredoms are one of the most focused  sound painters around. Extremely rewarding and building soundcaft, that envelopes the listener in rich tones from start to finish.
