NEW BOARDS OF CANADA VIDEO [Tape 05]

[GRIM.657]

it sounds so beautiful

[fujee]

The fucking HARPS man. Wowowow.

[Den]

It sounds like a live recording, I thought. Anyone else?

I feel this too… it sounds like it’s being played on a massive church organ. Beautiful.

[c3tra]

It's beautiful. Anyone else reminded of NIN's a Warm Place from the second half?

Yes! The warmth (no pun intended) of the pad/synth during THAT second section after the picked strings.
I also get a feeling similar to John Murphys work in Sunshine.

That's it we made it boys
So beautiful yet it still has a bleak vibe to it
Can't wait to hear the rest

It reminded me of Ghosts V

Bleak yet undeniably beautiful is EXACTLY what I wanted. And their ambient tracks are my favourite songs by them.

SO STOKED to hear the rest!!!

I feel like I’ve heard this chord progression somewhere else. I don’t mean to be some Karen, I don’t care if it’s not original but I just want to know what I’m thinking of

[teletron]

Marvellous

Okay it was exactly what I was thinking of. Requiem for dying mothers pt. 2 4:30 onward

If this is an intentional tribute to Brian McBride that's fucking beautiful

[Twentington]

It sounds so fragile and beautiful,just like our existence

I can't imagine what it must take to be able to create this type of music, it's overflowing with feeling!

[Redd Panderson]

First of all, I want to join the chorus of gushing voices. Gorgeous, triumphant return!

"Tape 05" as a title got me thinking. If I'm not mistaken, this isn't only a teaser for their fifth formal album, but also there are 4 tape-only "albums" (without going into the muddled matter of "officialness" or what constitutes an album):

BOC Maxima
Old Tunes 1
Old Tunes 2
35 Tracks Tape

Probably not intentional, but when I see the name "Tape 05," hear this music, and put it in the above context especially, I see absolution, acceptance, surrender, full circle. Very beautiful.

It only reinforces the connection to me that it kind of reminds me of A01. It almost sounds like a gorgeously realized version of the opener on the Random 35 Tracks Tape.

Good catch - quite similar!

[Ender]

I can't believe this is happening. I was legit starting to lose hope there would be another album. Man, I'm so happy right now, it sounds beautiful.

[portiss]

A good reminder to get back into Stars of the Lid. I have Their Refinement of the Decline on vinyl, but have 't really gotten around the rest of the discography yet.

Hey Ender, good to see you!

Same here, I was starting to lose hope that we'd get a new release, but it's all good now!

The wait has been a LONG one. I had to wait a similar length of time between Noise Unit's 'Voyeur' (2005) and 'Deviator' (2021).

But our patience paid off! Let's enjoy the ride, and fingers crossed for a nice 3xLP vinyl.
