Possibly, but not exactly. I'm just saying all those things were basically them confirming an album, though I can't prove that I just believe all signs point to that

I don't know if it means anything or what day BoC made this change, but a few months ago the Hell Interface video - nuevas semillas and tarekeys - csch were still as unlisted, but now they're private.

YouTube made all unlisted videos private last month.

Any unlisted videos posted before 2017 were automatically made private if no action was taken to opt out by the account owner. I'm sure BOC probably doesn't care if the videos go private so they didn't do anything to stop the change.

Yeah, still very strong words in BOC case. This is why I was paraphrasing you. But if it has been true, this is huge. No matter how long till the actual release, but this means the artistic struggle is over. And you can just relax and sip some beverage until it is drop. It is also means the speculation of what the next album could be is also should come to end. Because it is already not in BOC hands to possibly change it.

I suspect with all the Discordian toying with their fans through the internet and social media, as well as the use of a deep fake video, we might be getting some kind of commentary on the degradation of truth in the digital age - not sure how that would be reflected aesthetically, though.

Well ABBA are back with a new one called voyage, Just been announced and sounds spacey! Not really a fan of ABBA but if artists old and new are releasing music about now, then here’s to optimism for a BoC Release just down the line (the production line) :D
Also I don’t think there will be but if there’s an ARG for the new album, that’ll take some time to arrange. Won’t it?

All BoC's transmissions over the last year or two have secretly been to prep us for the new ABBA album.
It just makes sense, people.

I think that deep fake video was definitely a comment on that, and also an acknowledgement about the state of the world - a total nightmare. They've always established this sense of paranoia of and distrust of the internet in general. I think it was Marcus who went to school to study AI, if not then it was Mike, but altogether, I think the brothers are always observing the absurdities going on throughout the internet

The darker tones of their music could not possibly be more relevant in this present day

It's more improbable that ABBA reunited and released a new album than the idea of BOC releasing a new album. One because BOC never broke up and two they've been hinting at it on social media and elsewhere.

Someone on FB just hypothesized that TH's Telepath is a sample of Madonna's Live To Tell song (right at the beginning of the album version). I was skeptical in the beginning, but every time I go back and forth and compare, it seems like it could work.

I love the idea of these samples being right in front of our noses.

I guess this makes me a Madonna fan because Telepath is one of my favourite TH songs. Maybe even one of my favourite BoC songs altogether. :idea:

The Vapors reunited and released an album last year after damn near 40 years, so yeah, anything's possible I suppose

Madonna also sampled ABBA, it all comes full circle :lol: , and yeah, I can't unhear it now. I still maintain that "Buckie High" is just "A Forest" by The Cure and the wobbly melody is just Smith's distorted voice.

I honestly think now with the recent announcement of Nightmare on Wax being the big October album that we probably won't get a new BOC this year....unless there's a surprise announcement in December and a release in Jan/Feb

I'm afraid you might be right if they indeed act sparingly with their big releases.

Just for reference their monthly Spotify listeners:
- Boards of Canada: 861K
- Nightmares on Wax: 1.4M

Guess the new NoW is Warp's big fall release for 2021. Ugh.
