That’s what Seattle’s The Stranger would have you believe.  And hey, double-neck bass/guitar players are are pretty damn cool.  Boris’s forthcoming album "Smile", the follow up to 2006’s well-received "Pink," features more of the Japanese trio’s unique stoner rock wizardry.

Boris fans have several interesting options for preordering the album.  Preordering the album at Insound will get you an exclusive reprint of the "Statement" 7", while supplies last.  Amazon.com is offering the album with an exclusive ‘download card’ which can be redeemed for select mp3 tracks from several other Boris releases.  And of course, you can order it through Southern Lord along with an "Smile" t-shirt or sweatshirt.

There’s also a video for the song ‘Statement’ from "Smile" up on YouTube, and you can stream the song on Boris’s MySpace page.  The album will be released April 29th on Southern Lord Records.
