I thought about that. It's certainly possible with Chris, but, at the same time, the mixing and everything sounds a little too good to be a project of just editing together some sounds. I would maybe argue that he edited down some of the BoC unreleased material into a shorter amount of time? Can't say for sure, obviously, but the quality and style of sound is that of the brothers to my ears

Don't say!! OMG ... I just had the most unbelievable thought. When lockdown is over, are they preparing a live tour, and Chris Cunningham is doing the visualS? I think they are.

No, that video was taken from an event back in 2011 iirc, even though the upload date is more recent.

I doubt anything is happening, this is an old fan-made video and it's probably just a Warp employee reposting it. I suggest people stop getting excited at anything their social media posts or likes unless it's an actual announcement or message.

Why not? Half the fun of being a boards fan is finding meaning in their obscurity.

Because there is nothing to find in their social media presence. This isn't any announcement or ARG. It's quite unlikely that it's even them doing these posts, they probably hate social media so it's hard to see them doing this random promotional stuff when a Warp employee could just as easily do it all for them like they probably do every other artist.

Right, but it's only the second time that they've posted to that instagram account. If it's just a Warp social media manager what's the point?

Yeah and the first post was just a Warp 30 promotional video which was also posted on their twitter, so it's not like there was any special reason to posting on Instagram other than expanding the social media presence for promoting releases or events and interacting with fans.

Makes sense to me that they start using Instagram instead of Twitter for sharing fanmade videos. IG fits more for that kind of content. Twitter is less about music than IG is.
We'll see if this leads to more interesting things in the future but it sure is a good sign. If they bother trying to make the IG page gain momentum, it might mean that it'll be used for announcing stuff one day.

Meanwhile at Warp headquarters: "Damn it Dave! Did you just put up another fanvid on BoCs account again?" Dave: (insert Trollface meme).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this has got to mean something. They never make "their own" posts like this, plus it would have taken a decent amount of effort to download the video onto a phone and upload it. I don't see this being some random post after a year of more radio silence. If it is, that's massively annoying. I don't really care about fan-made music videos.

Just viewing BoC’s youtube page, they are very obviously appreciative of fan made music videos. I see this as them showing their appreciation to the fans as usual. Only thing different this time around is the platform they are sharing it on
Long story short: Nothing to see here folks.

What do you make of them liking posts that mention new albums? Is that a Warp employee too?

Honestly, I think it would be messed up if a Warp employee was liking posts mentioning a new album if BOC had no intention of actually making a new album.
Warning: This numerology post is not to be taken 2 seriously.
