BORIS WITH MICHIO KURIHARA - RAINBOW - BLACK VINYL LP - PRE ORDER OUT 4TH DECEMBER 2026

THIS IS A PRE ORDER SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE ON THE 4TH DECEMBER 2026

BLACK VINYL LP

First issued in 2006, Rainbow marked the maiden voyage of notorious
headbangers Boris and Michio Kurihara, famed lead guitarist of Ghost
and White Heaven. Performed together with fantastic harmony, Rainbow is
not just a perfect combination; it is a meeting place, with all players aligned
in a singular cause—to make an album whose music elevates the listener.
Twenty years later, we’re psyched as the dosed punch to do our very own
vinyl edition, right on time for the album’s 20th anniversary vinyl. The jacket’s
done up in classic Boris style—a Stoughton 12" Single Tip-on with special
uncoated natural white paper, Holographic foil stamping, and custom front
sticker, with lyrics reproduced on an insert of translucent vellum.
For such a formidable combine of noise-making rock ‘n rollers, Rainbow’s
negative spaces provide as much definition as their distorted guitars. Boris’
trio are all avid experimentalists. Kurihara’s guitar goes from whisper to
scream effortlessly, applying a distinctive tattoo to the musical flesh of their
collaboration.
Make no mistake: Rainbow does not lack for speaker-shredding intensity.
Opening with the power of “Rafflesia,” Rainbow paces itself with short pop
songs providing interludes among extended expeditions. A glockenspiel
glimmers in the distance, Takeshi and Wata trade vocals, muted beauty
is rocked open with droning, tom-pounding jams. A prism of sound colors
shifts gracefully, giving the album its proper name.
Rainbow’s a heavy rock album with classic melodic aims captured at an
apex of hi-fi stereo recording. Boris arrays their rock elegantly, with great
care and vigor, and Kurihara’s carefully contoured guitar tones accompany
them with great sensitivity, whether playing Mesozoan stomps, serrated riffs
or floating meditations.
