Can someone link to the balloon AS thing again? I think I missed it

this probably won't work unless you're logged into instagram, but here are both of the Adult Swim clip links:

i already commented this but it seems it got buried in other replies… Did anyone see the book they made for IABPOITC? not the brothers but another hexagon sun member, back when the EP came out.

yep. mental, right?
i wonder if there's any other HS books based on boc releases. im trying to imagine how a geogaddi one would look like
maybe they have a lot of these? stored in an underground hexagon sun library?

Yeah it's ethereal. Just on the verge of being abstract but still retaining some kind of narrative, like it is sampling small pieces of other stories and left on the reader to connect the dots himself. Like a children's picture book from some other reality. Plus it ends with a rhyme.

She also did the EP cover art without being explicitly credited which makes me wonder is BoC really just a two person project?

I think it’s like the early EP’s it’s self financed and probably distributed throughout HS, the reddit post are screenshots of a Facebook post by the author.

thanks for the links, at first I wasn't sure the balloon one sounded distinctly like BoC (the turn that smile upside down one def does to me) but realized it's a very similar melody in both ig posts. Woah.

I would love to see added artwork (possibly in book form) for MHTRTC as we only received one image for it and the album feels like a bit of a story! Having the music fit the artwork is one of BOC’s strongest attributes for me.

The best/worst thing about BOC/Hexagon Sun is their art is so great and fantastic but it's so scare and rare too. Like it's too good for this world...(which it kinda is.)

Peter Iain Campbell is such a good photographer, his oil rig images just emanate desolation. Random audience participation: what’s you’re favourite album/EP art and why?

[Frindia]

Geogaddi - makes me think of autumn/fall in a psychedelic way.

Trans Canada Highway EP - reminds me of how I saw road and trailhead signs while traveling (mainly through the Appalachians) with my family as a child.

i really dig the hiscores cover, and i'm not sure why. it's so simple yet inviting, reminds me of when i first discovered them and didn't have the patience to listen to most of their stuff. The discography seemed much more alien and unatainable back then and the cover reminds me of that.

[Echelon]

I love the Music Has The Right cover since it's very easy to make memeic images of it and plus, I love the weirdass texture on the family's faces

Geogaddi is a great BOC-take on the Wickerman

TCH's cover is great because it showcases a dude who could very well be from 1975 or 2005. My friend said it looked like Beck

Those three albums are definitely a trilogy because they all involve faceless people on the cover and have similar yet different music approaches. TH seems to be a new chapter for BOC and we'll see if the next album continues the story.

And really, there's so much excitement for me over anything new from BOC. And one of those things is the new art. Cannot wait to have a brand new LP of trippy, mindblowing art courtesy of Hexagon Sun

This is like when the bros borrowed PIC's work for their cover of Closes.

In an early interview, I remember them talking about publishing books. I tended to think of it as another thing they might have made up for mystification but it seems that this is something that actually was published.

Perhaps the secret Hexagon Society isn't as fabricated as the jaded would like to think. There might legitimately be a whole world of art we'll never get to see unless someone unveils it. This book is very much like the society itself, tangible but still completely out-of-reach.

(On a side note, let's hope our friend doesn't get his legs broken for sharing it with us.)

that sounds very interest-

Boards of Canada published several books in very limited numbers, distributed only to friends and family.

forget it

The day any one of us finds hooper bay in a charity shop is the day i will blast out the Pogues song “fiesta” on a loop in my house!
Though I’m not thinking we will but if RDJ (Aphex) left a USB full of music on a plane then anything’s possible!

[Echelon]

I really hope that the bros Sandison aren't pissed by this being uploaded. They tend to get "weird" when personal stuff is uploaded and rightfully so. Would not want them taking their anger out on the fan base who are patiently waiting for the new album/boxset and not uploading secret artifacts like this.

As cool as this is, here's hoping for an actual announcement from them instead

[Orbited insanitarium]

I mean when AFOT & OTV2 were leaked they mentioned in the guardian TH interview that the leaker betrayed their trust, which I agree with and I’m sure if I was them and a Hypothetical old tunes Vol.3 turned up out of the blue, I’d be pretty pissed off.

I've heard about couple of these cases. The trick is famous artists put made up names on their unreleased stuff.
