GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Echelon]

Also Warp started a new weekly mixtape. Keep your ears peeled if it has anything to do with BOC. It might one day:

Warp Earth Catalog is a weekly mixtape of ideas to inspire, inform, enable and energize creativity and positivity in a time of global disruption and uncertainty. Based on the classic countercultural guide the Whole Earth Catalog and its credo of ‘access to tools’, these are tools for strength, awareness and thoughtful entertainment. From wherever in the world we are, let’s support each other, make things and help maintain the ecosystem of independent creativity.

2020. deep autumn. November/December release date.

the most psychedelic and sun album they ever released. pleasant and light. nostalgic and sad. like TCH(2)

You just described the perfect scenario, Arvy. If it happened like this, I'd be so happy!

I will also add that Sometimes is a return to that kind of sound, but it's still new at the same time. It's hard to explain.

I just hope that if they release a new TCH style album that people lay off it. I have no idea why TCH is considered the black sheep when it not only breaks new ground in BOC's official discography, but it's one of their most melodic albums. Not to mention that there's an incredible level of depth to the sound. There's so many layers for your mind to dig through.

You can tell BOC worked really hard on the album and gave a great message behind it (a happy nostalgic place for your mind to escape to in an increasingly dark world. That's super relevant in this day and age too) and people like Pitchfork took it entirely for granted.

Hopefully this time if BOC create an album with a similar message, Pitchfork and all those other reviewers realize how important a message like that is. Maybe they'll even reevaluate Headphase, but I doubt it. They'll probably say that the new album improves on the lackluster Headphase.

Thanks, Echelon. I just recently was looking at TCH artwork. And noticed how vivid it looks. It is like holding someones memory in your hands. It is pretty trippy

It's interesting when you compare the sleeve photos of Tomorrow's Harvest to Campfire Headphase. It's like, all those people and memories faded and there's nothing left but barren landscape.

This next album probably has something to do with a new civilization.

[Soul_Slip]

Their albums are the official OST to the many stages of life and our existence!... excited to see what is next!

Someone said that heir next album could be leaving the earth. If TH was a desert, their next album is an alien planet jungle. Psychedelic scatters of human memories in the external heavens.

Some of the BOC ideas and dedication in music design. Combined in a musical family package for your adventure.

You know, now that I think about it. Didn't they say the second side of Tomorrow's Harvest was less human?

Palace Posy gives me weird alien pagan vibes. I feel like an alien civilization found a deserted earth, saw that Eleven commercial and turned it into a weird pagan ritual/chant.

[Moloch]

Palace Posy is tribal as fuck. I see half-naked earthlings riding mammoths and hunting dinosaurs. The sky is eerily blue and there's multicoloured tall grass and weird trees everywhere. I picture it as a 70s prog/kraut cover artwork.

I always imagined a Mad Max-type tribe salvaging and repurposing leftover bits of the pre-collapse world.

My wish: One day soon there’ll be a tweet with a URL and a 2 hour warning and a livestream will commence of material we’ve never heard before.

[Roswell]

Has the "Roles Features In Bundle" always been there on https://bleep.com/artist/78-boards-of-canada ???

Well...there are 69 tweets

I'm not into numerology but I feel that they might not be able to resist that one.

I remember being bored and being curious about that too. It just refers to a bundle that involves Hi-Scores and some other merchandise sadly.

[Kamiki]

I have a VisualPing alert set up for boardsofcanada.com - looks like this changed from 'Roles: Feature Artist' to 'Roles: Features in Bundle' on April 22nd. (and see Echelon's post above about what that means)

Funny VisualPing note - many of the alerts that come through are picked up from government changes to the Work and Compensations Boards of Canada!!

[Sl Flk]

I think we'll see new BoC announced soon. 2021

The sky is eerily blue

It would be

there's a very boards of canada feel in the air lately...

I agree completely, something in my gut tells me there will be news from them sooner than later.

[Kreide]

you might think im crazy, but i think so as well

[Echelon]

Give it a bit longer and... sit tight

[zeoevil]

You are all way more optimistic than I am. At this point, I'm of the belief that Harvest was all she wrote. Twoism and Harvest make good bookends to their career. Granted, they supposedly have more album(s) on their contract, but contracts don't really mean anything in an industry where many artists have gotten out of their contracts for one reason or another. I'd love to be proven wrong, but nothing really jumps out at me as being a positive sign we are getting anything new any time soon.
