The registration window on boardsofcanada.com is gone. Has anyone received any weird transmissions / emails?

Weird, nothing shows up for me, just the background image without the hexagon. I guess I broke my computer in all the excitement

Still there for me on Desktop. Interestingly accessing on mobile, I get a server timeout. I also noticed the first time I accessed the new site I had to disable content blockers for anything but the background image to appear.

I just disabled all the content blockers, but it's still just the background image. Fortunately I quickly registered with all my email addresses at work yesterday!
Love the image, love the music, surreal times

I guess we don't have to speculate anymore. I'll just let it wash over me, passively letting it all sink in from now. And perhaps anticipation proved to be the most exciting part. We'll see.

No one is speculating anymore. There's nothing left but pure joy and anticipation.

Trying not to overplay tape05 until the album comes (assuming it'll be on it). Sounds like more of a closer than an opener but who knows.

We don't know that though. I feel like it's too good to leave off a new album but at the same time it might be out of place on it.

I don’t get that sense… It may be left off the album, but “it’s just a part of tapes collection” is just made up. They left the teaser untitled where they could, instagram, twitter, etc., then used ‘Tape 05’ where they had to title it on YouTube. I figure it’s a reference to LP5

Imagine "Tape 05" is actually the name of the album

I want to speculate...

Only from what we are given, so far, and how I hear the track and see the visuals. I allow myself to interpret the teaser to the overall theme and tone for what is coming.

The beginning is gloomy, sad but also horror. I have the feeling of requiem. The cult theme is strong, but is it more a representation or metaphor for deception? Deception of humanity - we are led astray through religion, politics, finance, the very food and health we depend on...A systemic betrayal.

In the center it shifts.

Fragile beauty and faint optimism. Almost like the belief in humanity is still there – our inbound stubbornness to survive, the inner beauty of your soul. Human resilience – hope surfacing through the silt.

The contrast of hopelessness against hope. Black against white, shadow against light. A final, precarious balance between the darkness of our making and the light of our nature.

They are not here to save the day, but invites us in for a perspective through the hexagonal lens.
