A nocturnal shift into electronic dream pop and sultry J-pop, where Wata’s breathy whispers float over glitchy beats and shimmering, neon-lit guitar textures.
May 23, 2011 · Not On Label (Boris (3) Self-released)
Attention Please represents a fascinating detour in the Boris discography, trading their trademark tectonic sludge for a sleek, nocturnal pop sensibility. It is an album that feels like a walk through Shinjuku at 3 AM, where the air is thick with humidity and the only light comes from flickering neon signs. By placing guitarist Wata at the center as the sole vocalist, the band transforms their sound into something sultry, mysterious, and surprisingly accessible. The heavy distortion of their past is replaced by shimmering textures and electronic pulses that owe as much to trip-hop and dream pop as they do to rock.
