The listening party took place at the IRCAM, a public musical research center in Paris. According to the article, a partnership has been made between Warp and this center, explaining why the party took place here.
What's interesting is that the article says the partnership also includes a gig by a yet unknown artist at the same center in November. According to the article and the planning of recent Warp releases, it'd be Autechre or… BoC.
I don't think it will happen (Mount Kimbie also released a new album recently and they will do some gigs in France on November) but what if? I think a music research center could fit for live gig by the bros, it's not the same thing than a regular concert hall or festival…

google translate to the rescue. it's not perfect, but it will do.
History still maintain the mystery swells month online, Warp conducted Listens private Tomorrow's Harvest, new large-implement cultissimes Boards Of Canada, and we were there at the Paris session.
After a listening session London classified defense secrets and another, more relaxed but also more unlikely in a disused water park in the Southern California desert, a handful of French media have tasted Tuesday signed the first production Boards Of Canada in seven years. These methods may seem quite lavish for alternative electro duo, but the game play is happy - especially since there will be only 50 promo copies distributed in the world. The context was also up to the very nature of the ritual music of two Scottish brothers Warp France received journalists at IRCAM respectable musical research center near the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Warp and France knows how to: pre-drink an hour with moult whiskey and white wine, "put in good condition", the fun staff. This private listening takes place in the framework of a collaboration between the label and IRCAM, which should be extended by a concert in November, which the artist is kept private (visible to the release schedule, if n ' Aphex is not, it's either Autechre or BOC themselves). It has also put an end to a campaign teasing a month that threatened to become as clumsy than Daft Punk. Installed in a listening room less impressive than one would have thought, we are told that it is this time authorized on twitter our presence here, which was not the case in previous plays, but we will do without anyway. At a modest volume, and without tracklist (which sows confusion small enough to fit the work in question, given that the title of the duo are often fused together), we finally plunged into the fourth LP Boards of Canada.
That reassures you immediately: yes, it is good, very good even, and no, it has virtually no different from the previous. The exhilarating fantasy "Boards Of Canadian" gets underway at the outset, as a drug that causes a small fainting within oneself when it rises. We thus find the whole mosaic arpeggios escaped a virtual hand, plies his peaceful, the siren call of the distorted vocal samples mugs on obscure radio bands or vintage corporate films, rhythmic feet hip hop soft, small algorithms that are seeping into your mind and then fade as fluorescent stars that sticks in the children's room, audio vignettes that are the effect of Proust's madeleines, and especially These melodies blurred, a strange familiarity, which seem wake intimate memory we do not know each other. Production standards are still the same, and is always ready to forgive this little quaint side "new age lounge Nature & Discovery" genre that sometimes arises. Imagination is also the same, even if we can distinguish that Tomorrow's Harvest seems to be coming from a dark abyss and anxious than Music Has The Right To Children or The Campfire Headphase. For those seeking to detect some new elements in the mind sometimes a little routine of downtempo duo, they advise the beach 4 subjugating sensual osmosis, then 15 and 16, more writings and less cyclical pieces put on tape Boards of Canada, on which are more metallic sounds and beats more pronounced. These details suggest also imagine that the two brothers were slightly inspired productions Demdike Stare, Andy Stott or label Triangle. We also think a lot about all the followers they themselves have generated, including the most recent: Oneohtrix Point Never, Sand Circles, especially The Advisory Circle and the Ghost Box label. But even if they show a quite radical approach to foreign warpien duo, both Boards Of Canada show they are still the owners of unparalleled witchcraft through the ages.
Tomorrow's Harvest (Warp), released on 10 June.
