Spring is barely here and there is a Mosquito buzzing about my bedroom...vicious little blood sucker, every time I set down to type, she comes in for the kill. If I look her way she flies off towards the curtains...The music on boris at last -feedbacker- is just the same way; steady and direct, then fading focus. Lulling feedback drones filling the air, movement implied rather than acted upon. At some point a song shows up, but even then it's more of an extension to the opening drone.
While often Boris play a stoner rock that is more in likeness with the Smashing Pumpkins (and I suspect where to the western ear Takeshi's vocal is exotic but in his native Japan he's just as whiny as Billy Corrigan), the real comparison is that of a Black Sabbath record played at 16 rpm. Add to that the melancholy of Sun Dial's Reflector, or even Ash Ra Temple's Schwingungen and you have a better understanding of this side of Boris.
