Review

After five long years on hiatus, the Boredoms returned and released Seadrum/House of Sun in 2004. Two 20-or-so minute tracks that was recorded on a beach. I just got it on Christmas. Once I popped this in I almost cried. I admit it. I almost cried. I’m that man enough to admit it! It’s been so long without them and this made me sooooooo happy.

We start off with "Seadrum". Yoshimi comes in for about a minute doing her tribal call. And then the drums and percussion come right on in to create one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard in my life. Then comes a piano (Who the hell is playing that thing? Eye?) and then Eye’s synth joins the gang. Yoshimi’s vocals really fit the whole orchestra and the drumming is great! It’s a beautiful psychadelic trance masterpiece that should be played all over the world.

The second and last song is "House Of Sun". We’re introduced to a sitar and a trancy psychadelic Eye beat from his synth. It continues and continues and continues. It’s beautiful. It makes you want to go to beautiful places and go to the beach and make colorful things! But it did keep me on my toes. I was waiting for the drums to crash and a crazy Eye beat to go down. But sadly it didn’t happen. If it did it would have recieved a perfect score. But it’s still a nice song and I like it.

We’re still waiting for another Boredoms record after they did about three tours of the US over the past two years. They signed a contract with Vice Records and it seems some of the Super Roots albums are finally going to be released in the US. I see good a good future for the Boredoms.
