GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[SamuraiDrifter]

I just checked - they started liking "new album?!" tweets in 2017.

[NTFMTS]

Oh man I really really hope it's not a 2023 release... this year or next please lol

The video was a really nice treat though, definitely provides even more emotion to the song which is already pretty gut wrenching

New tweet

2 years from now:

"NEW TWEET GUYS, AND THEY JUST LIKED A COMMENT SAYING 'I HOPE YOU'LL RETURN SOMEDAY'!!"

... I'm 90% dead serious.

I go through periods with the tweets. Somedays, I'm excited. Other times I'm like, "yeah ok guys."

This time was more excited. But I'm sure the cynicism is around the corner

It seems like they have been posting a lot of TH tracks lately. Is this just a coincidence or could it really mean something?

I'm pretty sure they're going to be doing something more funky for the next release, and a bit like their 1996 stuff too. Hopefully the sounds of children will return as well.

You know, I wonder if the resemblance between the recent Nevermen remix and Omni Trio's "Breakbeat Etiquette" actually means something more now. At least to me, old school DnB, House, Rave music, and even more Trance/Psytrance stuff from the late 90s to early 00s, always sounds heavily futuristic and dystopian. I'm all for tracks like "Basefree" on the next album to fit in with the current state of the world, much like how Geogaddi fit with the uncertainty and paranoia after the 9/11 attacks. The brothers have expressed a fear of feeling like a parody of themselves before, so I don't rule something like that out.

This has literally got to be them at this point, I've said it like five times but the sound is unmistakably theirs..

Just compare any of their LP catalogue to the sounds of the melody, the bass, the atmosphere and the background noise which has this slightly short wave radio vibe to it.

I don't think this is a sound that is easily replicated, and it has their IP all over it. Also it being so second nature to how they would respond to the state of the world. Sry to repeat myself but after giving Geogaddi and then TH a re-listen, this is undoubtedly them.

Since this is reddit, its not 100% reliable by any stretch, but interesting quote nonetheless if true:

They’re finishing up some work on a few records then it will go to production but production of vinyls is backlogged and still working at a slower rate than normal - could be 3 months, 6 months 9 months more! That’s all the information I’ve got.

the user is based in Scotland though, so you never know

I 100% agree. This is their sound. I remember someone saying it sounded more like Com Truise than the bros, which is crazy.

We are coming up on a year since this post.

This is interesting as we now have two people who claim it’s in a production line, the YouTube comment I mentioned (Jamieboy) and this guy. I wonder if Fredd-E got anywhere interesting with contacting Jamie on Instagram. This makes me think of something arvy said a few pages back
“No matter how long till the actual release, but this means the artistic struggle is over. It’s not if, it’s when”

Also interesting to note is that he mentioned they are working on a few records, which would indicate that they are finishing BOCset

[Twentington]

Just saw a post on the FB group showing a screen shot of somebody tweeting boc something along the lines of "like this if you have a new record coming" which boc have liked, not checked it out on twitter yet but quite possibly the most reassuring click of a mouse or tap on a screen that's happened in a long time!

[Twentington]

Of course they wouldn't be telling a lie if they clicked like them left it another 2 years :')

Also I’ve just noticed that the last time BoC sent out a tweet as themselves and not a retweet was June 2019, that’s a long gap on inactivity (Which has now been broken)

[Waterbagel]

as long as i'm alive when it happens, any time that works for them, I reckon..

[Echelon]

I think it's a good sign that more information is leaking out on what's being released. Now we've got two separate people confirming that album(s) are being pressed.

The only thing that's missing is the BOC Twitter/Insta, responding "Yes" to a question about the new album's release a la Tomorrow's Harvest.

I've still got faith that there's still a surprise this year. If not a release, maybe an announcement. We've got to be nearing something with more people coming out off the woodwork about it

I'm still hopeful that it will be this year as well.

We are looking down a multi petabyte pipeline looking for isolated electrons in the flow...
Neo looking for the Matrix was saner than this.
Just saying

But it sure is fun

Well BoC have tweeted yesterday (which they haven’t done since 2019) and they’ve liked some people asking for a new album. On the other hand, we have two people who claim that they have met our boys (one called ‘jamieboy’ on a comment I spotted on youtube) and another on the reddit version of this thread. they both say that the album(s) are in a production line. Except the second guy on reddit says there’s a few being completed (and they will end up in a production queue)
