Iconoclast Japanese trio Boris are widely known for their ability to breach styles and stretch sonic boundaries of all that is heavy, psychedelic, droning and downright cathartic. But, ATTENTION PLEASE is more like a complete redefining of their potential in several ways. First and foremost, it is the first album on which all vocals are sang by lead guitarist, Wata. While she has previously sung on a couple songs for singles and her own solo recordings, the entire 10-song album features her intimate, multi-faceted vocal style. Secondly, the songs on ATTENTION PLEASE have a sultry, intoxicating catchiness to them. It's melodic without sounding pop. It's psychedelic without sounding dated. It's heavy without relying on barre chord riffs. ATTENTION PLEASE came to be following Boris touring the world in 2008 in support of their last album, SMILE. The trio set about recording new material and the album was completed, then abandoned. The band sought to challenge themselves further, and the end results are two new albums of dramatic growth and the most powerful extension to Boris' unparalleled creativity.
