I'd been told to keep quiet about this for awhile now until the album had finished the mastering and the artwork stages, and finally, I've been told I can mention a few tidbits. BoC will make an official announcement via their site April 25th, and expect WARP to start making mention of it shortly as well.
Exclusive to WATMM, here's some factoids about the new album:
28 track double CD (seems like there are more short interludes on this one), gatefold digipak
75% is entirely new music created post-Campfire Headphase, the rest is older tracks and ideas worked up to the brother's high standards.
There will be exclusive Bleep.com tracks available to those who preorder the album and those who purchase the digital version. No word on if these are remixes or original tracks.
There will be a 'deluxe' version, vinyl only, limited to 1060 copies (you see what they did there?), which will contain 'neat stuff' (all I was told, details to come).
The album will be released in the second half of the year, 'before the leaves turn colours' (could this be the title of the album?)
The first track off the album is called 'Isolated Receiver' and will be a single release as well before the album's release. It's supposedly "their best track they feel they've done yet"(!)
The other big bit of news is that this is not the only Boards release this year - but nothing to announce at the moment.
