GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

[Fredd-E]

If you really want a confirmation of the next LP. you should go back and read some of their last interviews. Is there any word of confirmation them ending making music?

On the contrary:

"The Charms of the Sphinx" is a 2013 interview by Michael Döringer & Thaddeus Herrmann. It originally appeared online at De:Bug [23]. Published also in De:Bug Magazine No.174 Jul/Aug 2013, pg.06-15.

Interviewer: There’s no way to not call it a comeback. Question is: Is this record a new beginning or maybe the end? How does it feel for you?

Marcus: It feels like neither of those things from our perspective because we’ve always been working! We’d be making music anyway even if nobody was listening, and we’ve no intention of stopping, so this is just a continuation.

It might also be worth noting that the first rumors for Tomorrow's Harvest began back in July 2007, almost six years before its eventual release. During that era, there were about 15 confirmations of the arrival of a new album scattered mainly on Twoism and WATMM. These confirmations stopped in July 2011, almost two years before the release.

That's all documented here: https://bocpages.org/wiki/Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun

We are certainly not waiting that long compared to then. It wasn't until June 2022 that MDG confirmed that a new album was also coming. This is not even three years ago. So there is definitely still time if we consider the time frame of the road to Tomorrow's Harvest.

Taking all this into account, I don't think it's time to panic. I remain hopeful. And yes notwithstanding, I do enjoy the recent BoC actitivty on their currently most used platform: Instagram. It is this platform where at least we see something still happening. We got 8 new video posts and they went from 29K to 63K followers in that period. It's not only the likes, but you need to see the big picture. The devil is in the details.

One of the 25 new likes on their Instagram caught my attention. It's one displaying urgency.

Yeah you are probably right Fredd. *Probably* Though i think you are really stretching things to say we have not been waiting that long because of when rumours started. It's been 12 years.

The social activity, if you could call it that, I personally don't put any stock in. They've been doing things like this periodically for years.

If it ever happens i'll be delighted, but until then i've resigned myself to believing their work is complete.

This thread is about rumours and speculation. And that's also our current topic of discussion.
With regards to the TH vs LP5 rumours I'm not stretching things. Just stating the facts.
- TH rumours started in 2007, came to a halt in 2011 -> album release 2013 (six years from A to Z)
- LP5 rumours started in 2022, are still ongoing -> album release ? (three years and counting)

And yes, how would you describe activity on a social platform? That is 100% social media activity. It's true there have been similar likes on Twitter in 2016 and we also had some on instagram in 2021. These cherry picked likes serve to reassure us something new is still coming. I keep coming back to the TH era: they did the same for six years. And to be honest the more they see people who lost faith, the more we might possibly see these moments of reassurance. we do know HS-people monitor this forum.

I also want to emphasize that BoC is not at all shy about social media. Did we forget about the TH ARG in 2013? They (Warp/BoC) are perfectly capable of building a meticulous campaign. I don't understand why people believed it in 2013, but now in 2025 have trouble believing it when they post on their channels? Doesn't make any sense.

Keep in mind LP5 is subject to a Non-disclosure agreement. I feel BoC or whoever is managing the socials is doing the most they can without breaking contract. And I appreciate that.

When it happens I'll be delighted. Until then I keep positive and scouting and reporting on their socials because we haven't seen the end of it yet.

If they had indeed stopped speaking to each other, fallen seriously ill, burned all their tapes, moved to an island, I might consider it, but now? No. It just wouldn't make it any sense to do all this if future music is off the table. Neither Warp nor BoC would be that cruel.

Yeah destroying tapes is more Mike Paradinas's thing

[girlfrequencies]

Record Store Day 2025 is just around the corner, I wonder if we’ll see any news regarding LP5 around then. Probably not another ARG, but who knows.

[Hellstreets]

I dont see them pulling another TH campaign, i think itll be a complete surprise the day we find out abt LP5

I just created an account as i felt i had to share these thoughts, but if this has been discussed before then just forget about it.

The addition of the invocation video in the ai upscaled Dayvan Cowboy video never stopped bothering me of why they added that in, and its obvious that nothing new is hiding in that video, but i got a thought of not looking at the video, but the title itself. "Invocation - A ritual act of calling something forth". More specifically:

-To summon a spirit, force, memory, or entity—especially something sacred, ancient, or lost.
-To initiate a ceremony or mark the beginning of something important.
-To awaken something dormant—buried feelings, forgotten truths, a sleeping presence.

I also asked chatgpt what adding invocation to the youtube video could mean or symbolize and it said "Invocation is not a debut. Not a premiere. It literally means: to call something back into being. To awaken what’s already existed, but has been buried, dormant, forgotten, sealed away. They are giving their fans the sign that something is waking back up and the AI upscale is a visual metaphor for resurrecting the past—flawed, but made clear"


Maybe im looking at something that isn't there at all, but fun to speculate as its all we can do now

Just close your eyes and then
remember
The thoughts you've locked away
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
you had today

This is the most sustained activity we’ve seen from them in ages. Maybe the total number of likes each time they’ve done this means something.

Also the Dayvan Cowboy AI upscale/Invocation addition metaphor makes a lot of sense to me. It’s a long shot, but maybe it means calling back old unreleased material, that’s been polished with modern knowledge and technology.

The version of ATP-06 PIC posted sounds very clean for what is likely an old sound board recording. They’ve expressed interest in tidying up old material for a long time. Part of me is betting on the BoC-Set, but at the very least I have more hope for LP5 than ever.

I have been pretty optimistic ever since PIC posted that. Although that was already 8 months ago?!!! That melody is really neat.

[luminousdusk]

Wasn't the Invocation video originally found at warp/boardsofcanada/666 ?

6/6/06 being the initial release date for TCH before it was changed. If I recall correctly Invocation came online around the time Trans Canada Highway was announced, So I assumed it was just because the two videos were linked that way that's why they were stitched together

That track being my ringtone has drawn some very confused/concerned looks in public lol

I remember way back hearing it for the first time and thinking it was one of the spookiest tunes I ever heard.

I think it actually is
