Boris announce spring tour dates

On March 18, Boris will release Gensho, a collaborative double-album with Japanese noise artist Merzbow, via Relapse. The album features one disc each dedicated to material by each artist, but performed collaboratively in an entirely new context. And Boris has just announced a set of U.S. tour dates in support of the album. They’re playing Levitation Fest in April, then making their way over to the West Coast. Merzbow will not be joining them for these dates, though it’ll be a pretty loud set of shows all the same. Take a look at the tour dates below, along with new track “Heavy Rain.”

Gensho follows 2014’s Noise.
