Bleep never would have wrote that if something wasn't coming down the pike soon.... ish.

Really? Reads to me like they have no idea if or when they will ever produce new music.

Hmm...some quick analysis...sounds like circle but different than the well known clip...it's track 3 which is circle according to bocpages...half as long as the previous track (by rough visual estimate) which is supposedly Geiser at 5:15...first track is longer still which is supposedly Seward Leaf at 7:02...

I can't believe this is real, but if it is we're looking at a $10,000+ record. I'd be more intrigued if the video also played another track, not just the one we kind of "know" what it sounds like.

They are the record company so they know. Especially since MDG confirmed a new album last year. I think this is more a sly tease to get us hyped

highly doubt it. IF it is real, then It's probably gonna end up the same way that OT did when they went on eBay a while back.

EDIT: Also, isn't it quite a coincidence that somebody decided to upload this on the same day as the anniversary of MHTRTC?

Big if true!

Uploaded 5 hours ago on the anniversary and just before record store Day, it looks like whatever theyre playing is well packaged and new, I can't see an old record looking that crisp, I would imagine any disc that actually exist would be a hand full of test pressings at best

I'll bet a crumpled £5-er that the video will be deleted as they always are. Ta-ra, I must multitask me time.

it is interesting that the two tracks before it on the vinyl visually seem to line up with their actual reported time frames. Though my money is on it being a fake. Why play only circle?

I’m thinking because it’s the only track from Hooper Bay that we’ve actually heard and know to be true.

From the video description:

"Had it in my collection for years and people think I am lying"

So either he's taken really good care of it over the years, or it's part of some upcoming Bocset (rumoured "years" ago), or he's full of shite.

I'd give it a 33.3% chance of being any of the above.

But Mr.lahey!

The broz never pressed this, right? My gut says fake.

[Davism]

I'll say this tho: when he turns it on it has that slower build up sound into full speed.

Says released on vinyl, though I don't know from whence that info came. Perhaps Fredd-E could confirm

Old website says cassette and vinyl.

I want to believe this as usual, but it smells like bullshit. Murky photos, 2006 camcorder video quality, only showing roughly 30 seconds of the track that would be the easiest to fake. This story needs more meat to it before it starts getting believable. Pressing a lathe or dubplate is more high effort than usual though, grabbing my popcorn for this one.

A discogs submission for the vinyl, owned by one user ‘Loughton’, the same man who posted the video. Claims he is in Edinburgh. Who knows, but i have hope

I mean, there was someone on Twitter who uploaded potato quality video of the performance at All Tomorrow Parties and the boctransmission acknowledged it
