Super Roots 2 is the second installment of the Super Roots EP series by Japanese experimental band Boredoms. Released as a 3" CD, it was mailed to people in Japan who completed and sent a survey card enclosed with the Japanese release of Chocolate Synthesizer. Because of its short duration, it was the only Super Roots not to be rereleased by Vice Records in 2007.[1][2][3][4]
