Boris and Ian Asbury of The Cult and The Doors have teamed up for a four-song mini release, entitled BXI, that will be released CD, LP and digitally in September.Outhern Lord Records says that Asbury's vocals are a perfect match for Boris's straightforward, laid-back, but still raw and imaginative songwriting constructed for the EP; another intriguing display within the band's ever-morphing, extensive résumé of releases, tours and collaborations.
The release features three new original tracks, as well as a cover of The Cult's song "Rain," ethereally vocalized by Boris guitarist Wata. Art and design for the release was commissioned to Stephen O'Malley (Ideologic.org, SUNNO))), etc.).
This past weekend, Ian Asbury made an unannounced appearance with Boris at the band's performance at Sydney, Australia's Vivid LIVE appearance, blowing fans away with this unexpected set which showcased some of the material from the BXI EP as well as a cover of the classic "The End", by The Doors.
BXI EP Track Listing:
1. Teeth and Claws
