Description
Boss Keloid have spent over a decade proving that heavy music can be progressive, adventurous and hugely accessible without ever standing still. Now, the Wigan four-piece return with 'Float & Aperture' - their most collaborative, experimental and ambitious album yet.
Determined to push their creative boundaries, the band completely reimagined their approach to songwriting, drawing on their individual musical influences and life experiences while placing greater emphasis on the interplay between melody, rhythm and dynamics. The result is a record that feels unmistakably Boss Keloid while opening up an exciting new chapter in their evolution.
Lyrically, vocalist Alex Hurst transforms personal experiences, challenges and life lessons into songs designed to resonate on a universal level. At its heart, 'Float & Aperture' is about embracing life in all its complexity - finding beauty in adversity and channeling experience through music, art, love, anger and wisdom.
The follow-up to 2021's critically acclaimed 'Family The Smiling Thrush', the band's fifth album, 'Float & Aperture' builds on an already formidable catalogue. Metal Hammer hailed Boss Keloid as "genius", while 'Family The Smiling Thrush' earned widespread acclaim for its genre-defying blend of progressive, heavy and psychedelic influences.
Seven tracks of mind-bending riffs, powerful grooves and soaring melodies make 'Float & Aperture' essential listening for existing fans - and the perfect introduction to one of the UK's most distinctive heavy bands.
Released 23 October 2026 via Church Road Records.
