Wherever this leads, the new track and signs of life have already exceeded my previous doubt that we'd never be here again. Ready Let's Go.

You were at a live BOC event(!), that's more than most of us can say. I was driving from NM to OR-WA in 2017 with my parents. Something about the scenery made me look up location of Delores Park and I saw we were going to stop for the night about 30 minutes away. So, just a few hours after realizing the possibility, I headed there from the motel, wandered across or through a barbed wire fence and explored at dusk until nightfall, listening to TH. It was special, for sure. Heartbreak Hotel all alone at a withered, skeletal, weed-infested waterpark. But signs of hope and life in the graffiti pieces and tags, and the desert sunset colors.

Bleep has repress pre-orders of at least Twoism coming out on June 12th, maybe that date is in general alignment with new LP release ? ? I guess we'll have to wait and C.

Their use of hexagons on every single part of the campaign is quite intriguing. We didn't see a single one during TH campaign.


It is interesting. Even though it screams Boards of Canada to me and everyone else, hexagons haven't been used that much in their official album artwork. Just mentioned in the name of their Hexagon Sun studio and in a one song title.
Features in some Geogaddi kaleidoscope artwork a bit I guess, Alpha & Omega promo and some of the repress campaign artwork.
But it's never seemed like an official logo, until recently.

Leaning into the hexagons feels a good move acknowledging and consolidating their image. And let's not forget hexagons are bestagons.

I believe that's Imgur blocking access from the UK rather than complying with OSA :?

I do’not understand what API data is, but Reddit user just found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada ... and_album/

Second pic has album art and new merch pictured.

HOLY SHIT

Looks like the album name leaked via an API from Bleep:

https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada ... and_album/

If you don't want to get spoiled, don't click the link.

That is so utterly disappointing that that leaked. I for one am not clicking.

Unfortunate to have it leak like this. If you want to avoid, steer clear of Reddit. I assume we’ll get the official announcement shortly now that the cat’s out of the bag.

A picture of a bundle featuring merch and the album, cover and title are out there.

If that's real, that's a hell of an album cover! I love it.

Judging by the leaked pictures, there seems to be at least two vinyl variants. Maybe a limited coloured one?
