2015 studio album by Boris

Urban Dance Studio album by Boris Released 2 May 2015 (2015-05-02) Recorded 2015 Genre Post-rock Length 42:02 Label Fangs Anal Satan Producer Boris Boris chronology The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked Extra (2014) Urban Dance (2015) Warpath (2015)

***Urban Dance*** is the twentieth studio [album](/source/Album) by Japanese [rock](/source/Rock_music) band [Boris](/source/Boris_(band)). It was first announced via the band's Facebook page[1] on April 30, along with simultaneous releases of *[Warpath](/source/Warpath_(Boris_album))* and *[Asia](/source/Asia_(Boris_album))*. They were first available on tour with Endon, making their release date May 2.[2]

Of the three simultaneous releases, this album is the only one bearing resemblance to rock-based music, with "Surrender" in particular recalling 2014's *[Noise](/source/Noise_(Boris_album))*. Beyond its use of soaring vocals – their only appearance on any of the three albums – the song, as well as "Endless," features pronounced [post-rock](/source/Post-rock) influence. These are also the only two songs to feature drums. The rest of the material on the album fits the noise, experimental and drone facets explored further on *Warpath* and *Asia*. Its combination of more traditional rock songs and drone pieces makes it similar in structure to *[The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked - Chronicle](/source/The_Thing_Which_Solomon_Overlooked_-_Chronicle)'*s fourth disc ("Extra").

The cover art posted by the band is inaccurate to the physical product, which features a young Japanese girl dressed as a ballerina.[3]
