On November 25th, Japanese trio Boris will release their next album, the experimental New Album on Sargent House. Inspired by current Japanese pop music trends, the album contains reworkings of previously released tracks. "This Spring, Boris put out two new albums called Attention Please and Heavy Rocks," drummer Atsuo explains to Rolling Stone. "These separate albums [were compiled] from one abandoned record. Once we finished those two we came up with an idea for another record – to rearrange some songs from both albums then to combine with new ones. 'Flare' is one of the new songs, the latest transformation of Boris."

Boris' New Album will be released on November 25th, but you can download "Flare" for free here.

“Helen Wheels”

Paul McCartney | 1973

A rollicking good-time hard rocker, "Helen Wheels" was not about a woman but about Paul McCartney's Land Rover, the anthemic chorus voicing the vehicle's reckless joy as "she" took to the road. The song was added to the U.S. version of Band on the Run but was issued only as a single in McCartney's native U.K. "I like that because it's a British road song and there's not many of those around," said McCartney. "It's always Route 66. But Carlisle? How many songs have got Carlisle in them?"
