GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[luminousdusk]

If i had to guess id say it looks like it's from the RFTD shoot. If i recall correctly we didn't see any new bro pics from the TH era or did we? We had plenty from Campfire Headphase era

Funny you should ask...

Ah ha, Yes that would be a much more accurate er.. Aesthetic, lets say!

I think Mr luminous ducks forgot that Neil Krug directed the video and that it was made in the states. There's no mention of the brothers having been actually there when the video was shot AFAIK

Yeah funny that.. I seem to have this false memory of them actually being there. How odd! Could have sworn i read something about them being there but i know better than to trust my own memory these days.

Yes if that picture is legit its more likey from Campfire era

There were some rumors they were hiding in the camper -- sounds bonkers to me but who knows

Just a few more years and were bound to get some new tunes. (maybe) ((maybe not))

Danny Brown was just announced for November. Interestingly, two month difference from digital (November 17th) to physical (January 19th).

Likely not much time left in the year for an announcement for 2023....

[ColinWallis]

just saw Danny Brown say "few months, I got the date, but I don't think I can announce it yet", regarding his upcoming album on Warp.

seen on Your Mom's House Ep. 727

so, just for a possible timeline... Danny mentioned this about 2 weeks ago, after complaining earlier this year, possibly even last year that he had his album "Quaranta" finished and wanted it out, but Warp was holding it. he said that this album had been finished for well over a year and he was getting impatient with Warp.

today, Warp announced it, Nov 17 digital, Jan 19 physical..

no idea if this is truly relevant, but i figured it could give some insight into what could be going on with BoC since we did get that "confirmation" a while back about a new album.

seems like Warp pretty much dictates when stuff comes out, at least in Danny's case. i wonder if it's the same for BoC?

i would imagine they have a little more influence than Danny, but who knows.

[ColinWallis]

something fairly relevant @8:46 into this episode, Danny talks about how he doesn't know what's going on with Warp records, that he handed in an album to them 2 years ago and doesn't know what the hold up is.. Check it out:

ah, there it is.

so, yeah. to me this seems somewhat relevant. he finished his album like 3 years ago lol.

[Davism]

It makes sense, but I also have a hard time believing that Warp would hold off the broz for 2 or 3 years.

[ColinWallis]

i don't mean to suggest that, and agree it's unlikely.

i just thought it could be relevant in terms of any Warp artist waiting for any period of time before their release date is set / agreed upon.

[Davism]

No I hear, Colin. On the other hand, Warp would have my respect if they made all their artists wait in line no matter how important.

Great analysis. The Boards of Canada record is confirmed to exist indeed and the record is clearly in Warp's hands now. I think they're personally hashing everything out, including the physical releases and the promotion campaign for it.

As we see on the cover of Aphex Twin's Syro, a lot of money and effort goes into a huge artist on Warp. We just have to sit tight and enjoy ourselves until the time comes for new BOC.

I'm curious why you say the BoC record is clearly in Warp's hands now? I've been lurking this thread semi-regularly, but did I miss some piece of evidence, aside from the social media activity (likes, Threads setup, etc)?

I think News and Findings thread by Fredd-e has the latest and greatest

There's speculation that the "I feel good" deepfake video was them giving us the heads up that they were done, that was in 2021 tho (If I remember correctly) but again, that's just speculation.

[steeldancer-x]

Current theory is that they were done, then AI happened and they were like "ok wait a minute"
The Warp discourse is interesting. Let's see where that mess goes

Speculation from whom? I haven't seen anything like that. Also don't see how "I feel good" would translate to "we're not making music anymore."

"Done" as in done with the album or whatever.

yup sorry, I should have been a bit more clear about that. I am not going back to look for posts but when it happened I saw people speculating about that being the case. Don't shoot the messenger, I am not saying that is what the video meant.

MDG said the album was "On its way" which I'd assume means Warp has it and is in the process of releasing it (however long it takes.)

I think I actually speculated back in 2021 that I Feel Good was them celebrating that they finished the project.

We really have no idea what I Feel Good means but it does feel like a cheeky way to celebrate them finishing a highly sought after project. But your mileage may vary. Could mean nothing.
