Also this.

Either on or before 2021 there should be a release. Going by what they said in the interview. 8 years between TCH and TH.. So the same or less

Yawn. They aren't done making music.

Something is definitely on the horizon. Might be this year, might be next year... no one knows. But to take some imaginative leap and declare they are never going to release anything again seems quite preposterous, especially given a lot of their interview quotes and twitter likes regarding new music. These things take time. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd rather them take their good old time with their artwork then rush through it. I don't care if I have to wait another 5 years (that would be rough though).

Sorry, but i think that's a little bit far fetched. They're most likely 2 very normal guys with families, bills and other things going on in their lives just like everyone else. Boards of Canada won't be the only thing they live and breathe. A new release will happen eventually, just need to be patient!

I can wait another 5 years easy, listening to all the current stuff never gets boring for me.

And when something new arrives it'll be a blessing.

yeah, they're just a band! The world's ending for all of us, I doubt they're so preoccupied by it that they've put all the synths on gumtree and curled up in the fetal position. There'll be an album eventually, I'm happy to wait.

I think BOC would either wait till 2022 and release something Geogadi part2 in 20 the anniversary of the album.
Or, they will release something on 2020, but also in contrast to Tomorrow;s Harvest it will be something similar to Campfire Headphase. Many warm, nostalgic sounds, probably with some acoustic instruments. A complete 180 from the previous album. I even see a possible release date - 2020.02.20

a fresh Hell Interface release would suit the times we're living in.

I feel pretty thirsty for some type of sign that they are thinking of their fans, no matter how insignificant of a sign. The patience game is tough to play when you regard BoC as your favourite musical act :l

They said the wait wouldn't be as long as last time right? I'm hoping that if we don't get anything by the end of this year we should be getting something in 2020. Waiting is tough, if they were to announce something I could probably cry from happiness, though considering most people here have been waiting for longer than me I can't really complain much

I don't know if they said anything like that, but if anyone knows I'd be interested to see the quote. I feel like something will be released early 2020, but that is no more than an imaginative hunch. They were "liking" a bunch of tweets mostly revolving around a new album back in October, but since then it has been complete radio silence except for the tweet about Pete Standing Alone when he passed (RIP). It wouldn't take much to tide me over in the waiting game, for instance if MDG were to pop up or even if we saw another tweet. No worries, though.

I'm interested to see what type of direction they'll take in the next album. I am sure it will contain the quintessential BoC complexities, but I am curious as towards what approach they'll take. Will it be dark like Tomorrow's Harvest? Chill like The Campfire Headphase? We can only wait and see. Gets me really excited just thinking about it, though.

I've been thinking that for quite a while. It would be interesting to hear what a HI album of new material would sound like - maybe some of the more extreme parts of Geogaddi?

I can't help but hope that the next release will be something huge. If I remember well, either mdg or the brothers once said circa TH's release that they had several albums close to be finished. Knowing this, plus seeing the years that have passed since TH, plus also considering the rumors about a box set of old stuff, all this raises my expectations for some big announcement. But hey, even a single LP would be awesome.

I also wonder if we're going to see a new exciting ARG like in 2013 or if they'll go for something simpler this time.

For now I think the closest we are to hear new stuff is if a 30th Warp anniversary compilation gets released. But still, are we sure it's going to happen?

I'd be stoked if the next release was really long, like 6-8 sides of vinyl. Fingers crossed for some news this year!

I think that'd legit bring a tear to my eye. Oof, just thinking of it makes me feel akin to dreaming of the lottery. That would be epic <3

Would be pretty mind blowing and awesome if they somehow announced news for a new release this year. Would make the year full of a lot of new releases from artists I love even cooler!

Looking up IP all I can find is that it is in the US, the customer used Comcast and it was created in march of 2014.

Likely nothing of consequence, but I secretly want those words to be rubbed in my face and this to be "it" as I am sure many of you do.

It is also the only wikipedia edit made from that IP. I was looking for instances of planting false information or making edits to other pages etc.

The probability still leans heavily towards it being an edit by a random fan hoping to get a reaction, who knows at this stage, though. I doubt they will want to go for the TH style release again.

my body says yes, but me cold hexagonal heart says no
