GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Fredd-E]

Time for me to chime in with a fun theory of mine.


https://warp.net/releases

Warp just announced its 664th release. Stereolab - Pulse Of The Early Brain [Switched On Volume 5]. Release in September.

I like to do some predictions.

• 665 - Boards of Canada - "LP5" (August, 2022)
• 666 - Hell Interface - "Fabled Set Of Old Tunes" (August, 2022)

PS: Don't forget all this started with the Hell Interface shenanigans in April 2021. See also: timeline.

Recap:

• July 2022: Wu-Lu
• August 2022: BoC + Hell Interface
• September 2022: Stereolab

A man can dream?

Dreamed I met Bibio at a house party last night and he had this CD with him. He said "there's new BoC on its way"... the dangers of reading twoism before bed.

How will you approach new material when it's finally released? Stream as soon as it's available? Pre-order vinyl and wait for it to arrive before listening? Interested to hear your thoughts.

Pre order all. Listen digitally asap.

Yup, this. I don't think I'd be able to resist any potential leaks either, musically or otherwise.

My only rule is that first listen must be in a perfect environment. No distractions with some good equipment, whether it's at home on my speaker setup, or with nature and a good pair of headphones. If it takes a little while to hit every parameter then so be it. I'd rather wait and truly enjoy my first listen, instead of rushing in as soon as it's live.

I second this. Good disclaimer to the "asap" statement.

Glad we're on the same page here!

I'm a sucker for forever associating albums with the first time, or the period of my life where I heard it. If those initial conditions aren't great, it will always slightly taint the album for me. It's quite annoying, but equally, it's nice when it works the other way. So far, I associate pretty much all of BoC's work with great times, so I'd like to keep it that way

I remember when i broke up with my first long term girlfriend while i was at uni my best mate sent me a bunch of CD's, all bargain bucket stuff he'd picked up. He said listen to all these, because any records that you actually like that you listen to during this time will forever bring you back to this time and you won't be able to enjoy them anymore! Kind of worked. The CD's he sent were pretty awful but luckily i never have to listen to any again.

It's going to be a great weekend. I think the new album is just about to pop or drop. It's about to board a plane to canada. Whatever. It's so freaking close that's it's unbearable for the brothers.

Burn it to Laserdisc format. If you're not listening to music with lasers, you're living in the past, bro.

This is the funniest statement I've read in awhile!

Cut it to wax. If you're not listening to music on wax cylinders, you're a fucking caveman.

[Sky and Trails]

By the way, I tried Discord.

It made me start to think that maybe the release already happened.

[Biznasty]

By the way, I tried Discord.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

yes yes yes
6. 6. 6

[ColinWallis]

wouldn't it be kind of odd if they didn't give BoC the 666th release??

i mean, c'mon

who else on Warp records "deserves" it as much as Boards of Canada??

[bocbocbocboc]

Did I miss something?

[hexagonFox]

Did I miss something?

The prophecy was true
Boards of Canada is gonna release a new album.

8:22

and it falls on a Monday

This is such a fun theory. If it wasn't written by you, Fredd, you should put it in your own news and findings haha


If they legitimately released it in the August of 8/22 then they'd be self fulfilling prophets.

This will be my head canon til nothing happens in August haha

[hexagonFox]

Only thing I want to add to the numerology in this thread is that Warp currently have 663 official releases. Why does that matter? The devil is in the details perhaps we wait a few more releases and see where we're at.

Disclaimer: this is for fun and that's all.

Hey!!!

'Tis a top quality meme, but oh blimey, don't get me ruddy started on Stranger Things. I'm in the #IKnewKateBushBeforeRUTHGotFamous camp. If that ain't a mouthful enough hashtag.

If there was a reality where Play By Numbers saved Max's life, I can imagine this place would be swamped by rabid Netflix fans. "Numerator" (tiktok cover) by ShantellGaddi69-er!

[Echelon]

I wonder how BOC feel about eighties nostalgia from people who were never there?

Going by Marcus in that TH interview about Instagram, I'm sure they'd have some funny, crotchety remark about it.

Been on an eighties phase myself but it had more to do with that new Tears For Fears album XD
