Pink

Pink is an album by Japanese band Boris, released in 2005 on Diwphalanx Records in Japan and subsequently reissued in the US on Southern Lord. The album received very favourable reviews, largely for taking a more melodic and accessible direction than the band's previous work. A music video was also shot for the title track, but was limited to less than 100 copies on DVD. It was later included in the limited CD+DVD Southern Lord version of the album 'Smile'. The opening guitar of "Farewell" may be a tribute to Nick Drake, as it sounds much like the instrumental track "Horn" from his 1972 album Pink Moon. The full-length version of "Farewell" from the vinyl edition also appears on Variations, although the beginning fades in slightly.
