Tomorrow's Harvest

[lyst]

Tomorrow's Harvest!!! I haven't been this excited for a new album probably since TCH was announced in 2005! 2013 is a hell of a year for music: the best year in memory since 2001 I'd say (which was monstrous)... Let's compare with some highlights:

2001

Aphex Twin - drukQs
Squarepusher - Go Plastic
Autechre - Confield
Phoenecia - Brownout
Bola - Fyuti
Brothomstates - Claro
Chris Clark - Clarence Park
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Daft Punk - Discovery
Plaid - Double Figure
Depeche Mode - Exciter
Venentian Snare - many albums
Richard Devine - Lipswitch
Wagon Christ - Musipal
Telefon Tel Aviv - Fahrenheit Fair Enough
Stars of The Lid - Tired Sounds of Stars of The Lid
Bjork - Vespertine
ADULT. - Resuscitation
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By

So yeah... 2001 was fucking massive.

2013 (released and announced)

Autechre - Exai
My Bloody Valentine - MBV
Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Arovane - Ve Palor
Fieldtriqp - Hidden Tracks
David Bowie - The Next Day
Telefon Tel Aviv - New Album later this year
ADULT. - The Way Things Fall
The Knife - Shaking The Habitual
mu-ziq - Somerset Avenue Tracks (1992-1995) / XTEP / Chewed Corners LP/ Heterotic album
Atoms For Peace - Amok
Depeche Mode - Delta Machine
Bibio - Silver Wilkinson
Quinoline Yellow - Palisade Mount EP
Bola - New Album
Machinedrum - New Album on Ninja Tune
Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall
Plaid - New Material

I'm missing loads I know, but what a year it's been thus far!

You've got a seriously good taste in music!!

Yup, would agree with most of that list, though I'm struggling with the Knife so far. Might just need more listens. There's also a new album by The Necks due this year. And probably new material from A Winged Victory for the Sullen.

A big hole in this for me is Letherette's debut album. So far my favorite drop of 2013.

Yeah agreed, great list. Also looking forward to Mount Kimbie, Daft Punk, Fuck Buttons and James Holden.

Probably my favourite release so far though has been Broadcast's OST for Berberian Sound Studio.

now that i look at the inner sleeves and how they're presented like film/window frames against black, its almost like ABPOITC again and that also uses an Avant Garde font. i like these more than the cover


the promo clip reminded me of this old gem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks7GSmUnV3A

from another docu/movie 1977

great year its turning out to be that one

I agree, I love the look of the inner sleeve art, it does remind me of iabpoitc's art for sure! I'm hoping the music has the same vibe as iabpoitc. The cover art is throwing me off a bit, I was expecting something more abstract.

And probably new material from A Winged Victory for the Sullen.

Oh yes please! And a new Fuck Buttons!? Will it never end?

Hello to all.


New here, but a tried and true b0c vet with many, many years as a fan and countless of thousands of hours listened.

I say the above not to impress anyone, but rather, from the fans I've met, there are the ones who dig the vibe and general sound, and simply are fans, and then are are the other folk, who ..somehow..sense something much greater at work(play) here.

There is a preternatural language that lies just beneath the ancient structure we excavate by listening. There is a secret amidst the (dis)chords.





I'm really excited for this album in general, but more specifically, after I heard and saw the video, I was elated to see Mike and Marcus going back to the darker fringe of their work. Or perhaps moving forward. More on that in a second. This is the -old- alchemy here that the older heads like myself miss, and do so pine indefinitely for.

Because..ya know, it is not ever..ever successfully duplicated. It cannot be.

This style is what I wasn't really seeing in Campfire and TCH.

This is that barren wasteland that is all at once desolate and radiant.

This is the darker edge of the woods. The darker rivers of your heart. The places you don't talk about to anyone, that in spite of that persist...and linger. And this is b0c at their finest.


We're going to see a rebirth here. And it is absolutely on purpose. You guys always must remember, everything they do is a play by numbers. ...Just as I used the expression now with a double reference to an older work. But of course, you wouldn't know that unless you knew the album.

They waited. They purposely waited. They wove the fabric during their active years. They evolved their sound to it's latter-day, modernist(for them, mind you), engaging clarity. But it was too rich a tapestry for it's own good. They began to civilize the primordial(prime audio) soup from whence it first came..but into a creature that conveyed less wisdom, and instead spoke more words.

All civilizations invariably fall. This album is back into the woods with the lads. This is that first cycle again.

And it just so happens to be my fucking favorite.


This particular sound, is what got me into the Boards. This austere, solitary, overwhelmingly emotional breadth of life. It knows me somehow. I cannot hide from it. It knows my every secret. It has many secrets to impart. I must be worthy though. I must be brave enough to surrender.

This sound is the ultimate perception of our stark reality as we truly exist in nature and in the universe. This is every moment you ever spent from your first breath to your last. This is that time you went out into the winter wonderland as a kid and thought, " I'm never going back, this is just too beautiful to part with." This is that moment you wrestled your rabbit-eared antenna on your thirteen-inch television in the years after your winter wanderings and ponderings.



You cannot hide from them. Do not try. Because they know. And they only want to set you free.


I ask you then, wouldn't you like to be free?

I think this album gonna be more dark, like geogaddi, i don't know why but the art work, the name, the transmission on the web page, sound apocalyptic what do you think guys ?

[iec]

is anyone else really surprised that the release date was not June 9th

[chorus]

is anyone else really surprised that the release date was not June 9th

No, because it is a Sunday.

[realspiel]

is anyone else really surprised that the release date was not June 9th

No, because it is a Sunday.

Surely they could have just waited another year to release it then? ha ha

[LoSt LaKe]

This TH transmission is haunting, and surprisingly dark material imo, I'm excited and slightly frightened. This is scary shit man.

[juKajitsu]

Well, art work more sunny melancholic than dark, like fresh morning. But and Geogaddi was not dark for me, so, I dont know how u will listen it. I will feel happy myself every song.
Plus, the name is very high, not dark too. Its like what u see in tomorrow's days. I see smile.

[The Telepathic Kid]

Yeah agreed, great list. Also looking forward to Mount Kimbie, Daft Punk, Fuck Buttons and James Holden.

is that confirmed? link please!

I admire your optimistic outlook.

I also did not find Geogaddi as dark as a lot of people do; for me id say it is pleasantly strange.

Actually, June 9th 2014 is Pentecostal = national holy day, shops shut in Norway. 2015 is ok though.
Sent the brothers an email telling them to delay the release for an additional two years.

[thepastinsidepressant]

Sent the brothers an email telling them to delay the release for an additional two years.

yea i think they need more time to put beats on it and think about removing the vocals.
not sure if its a good time to go that far ahead. they sent the promos well in advance this time, thumbs up.

[audiotrack]

I know its being greedy but i still hope thay have plans to release the pre-twoism material.
This was and still is my most anticipated release.

I agree I don't find Geogaddi all that dark, but to me it feels almost Organic almost like its alive, I swear sometimes someone has been adding extras to the tracks as I am still discovering new things on it even though I have listened to it thousands of times.

Pixellives form watmm who appears to be in the know, who did predict the june release before anyone else stated that his contact had stated that Tomorrow's Harvest is a lot more like Geogaddi, which pleases me no end.

[sunshine recorder]

what a summer this is going to be! june 3rd new queens of the stone age...a week later new boc,incredible,better charge up my mp3 player,its gonna be busy!

[diabolous616]

Off topic, but: I put together an Unofficial BoC ------/------/------/------/------/------ Album. It's a zip file of 9 tracks. All the clues in the best quality I could find, in Mp3 format. I leveled all the volumes about the same. The original AAAA and BBBB wavs form the banner clue are in there too (I was one who got the OG quick DL's). Also the final Tomorrow's Harvest Transmission. All in the order they were given to us. In anyone wants it, here's the DL link: http://www.mediafire.com/?kqofjosck1mrjrj

I put this on a couple threads so everyone sees

thanks for this, should tide me over till the album arrives
made a quick image on my phone to go with it
