With comparisons to Broken Bells, Avi Buffalo (actually Avi plays guitar in Boris Smile) and Sufjan Stevens, Long Beach-based indie pop group Boris Smile, made up of eight talented musicians, released their third full-length album My Love Powered By 10,000 Practice Amps on Count Your Luck Stars Records. The record release show is this Saturday at the Bootleg Theater! The album, inspired by frontman A. Wesley Chung after an 8-month stint at a manor house in the south of England, includes 23 eclectic tracks emphasizing community, faith/doubt and strength in weakness.
To get a glimpse of what to expect on their upcoming record, the band is offering the inspirational and harmonic ballad “The Moment” as a free download. Stream and download the song at bandcamp.com.
The album title came from the idea that my heart felt so full of love for these people that the only way I could express my gratitude is by plugging 10,000 practice amps into my heart and let the world be drowned in a cacophony sonic joy,” Chung states.
The album features guest appearances by Rebbecca Coleman (Pageants), Korey Dane Sugita and Tess Shapiro (Korey Dane), and Eric and Beth Balmer (Fielding), Avi Zahner (Avi Buffalo), Seth Shafer (Paulie Pesh), Meagan Christy (Chase Long Beach), and Jon Carman and Matt Proffitt (The Red River).
