Boris and Ian Astbury (THE CULT and THE DOORS). This finely-crafted four-song release, simply entitled BXI, was tracked and mixed in Tokyo in late April. Astbury's iconic rock vocals are a perfect match for Boris's straightforward, laid-back, but still raw and imaginative song writing constructed for the mini album; another intriguing display within the band's ever-morphing, extensive résumé of releases, tours and collaborations. BXI showcases the already unclassifiable rock of Boris in an entirely new light, and shows a new side to one of rock and roll's most notorious singers. The release features three new original tracks, as well as a cover of The Cult's song "Rain", ethereally vocalised by Boris guitarist Wata. Art and design for the release was commissioned to Stephen O'Malley (Ideologic.org, SUNNO))), etc.). The result is stunning. The LP version will be released on 180g vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve.
