    W is a surprising and bold work of art. It’s wonderfully produced, wonderfully performed, as literally all Boris albums are. Something else interesting, it stands out over pretty much all other albums Boris has made. It sounds like no other album they’ve made.

    Takeshi, Atsuo, and Wata have reflected abstract magic on W. Like a port in a storm, the foundations may occasionally shake, but, for the duration of the record, it feels like the safest place to hide.

    'W' sees Boris fully exploring the lighter side of their sound. ... But the delicate beauty of these moments is magnified when Boris push themselves to the other extreme.
