After more than ten years of making some of the most unlistenable records known to man, the Boredoms have made their most accomplished and perfectly realised album to date. Immerse yourself in it.

SPIN

Expansive and bottomless, Newsun continues Boredoms' quest for an ecstatic peace where their dreams of noise lead to brilliant visions of light.

Pitchfork
One way to look at the Boredoms is as the Andy Kaufman of rock. Through meticulous study, they have completely mastered the architecture of the transcendent rock jam.

And no, I was not on any drugs but the remaining caffeine in my system, which is a testament to how great this is at encapsulating a psychedelic experience. Honestly, every second was hypnotic, twisting, and ... read more

More people should make Krautrock albums - this is such a wonderful album to get swept up and lost in, and I really can't think of anything I didn't like about it - this definitely has the potential to grow into one of my all time favorites
