Asia is a studio album by the Japanese experimental band Boris. It was first announced via the band's Facebook page on 30 April,[1] along with simultaneous releases of Urban Dance and Asia as part of the New Noise Literacy series.[2] They were first available on tour with Endon, making their release date May 2.[3]
Of the three simultaneous releases, Asia is almost entirely noise experimentation, with elements of drone music as well. Warpath is entirely instrumental and drumless, all in keeping with the styles used on it's surrounding works, as well as previous drone albums like The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked.
The cover art posted by the band is inaccurate to the physical product, which features a young Japanese girl dressed as a ballerina.[4] Ultimately, Urban Dance was limited to 1000 CD copies and only sold as shows and via Inoxia Records.
Because of the release's niche nature, reviews of Warpath are scarce and mixed. A short review as part of a ranking, Doodlehound would note that "Warpath is harmless enough and easy to miss among those casual rock releases but those curious will find little barring exception to that creepy third track [Dreamy Eyed Panjandrum]."[5]
