Präparat is the eighteenth studio album by the Japanese experimental band Boris. The album was announced along with two other releases (Vein and The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked Chronicle).[1] Musically, Präparat is largely instrumental, with stylistic moods drawn in shoegaze, sludge and ambient. The album features the participation of musicians like Michio Kurihara and Gisèle Vienne. It was previously released exclusively on vinyl only in Japan. A second Japan domestic pressing was released in April 2014.
Präparat would be released digitally as part of Bandcamp Fridays on 2 October 2020 with the proper track lengths in contrast to what was leaked at the time of release.[2]
"Evil Stack 3" is part of a series of drone pieces across multiple Boris albums, including the Damaged split and Rock Dream.
