Boards of Canada

[Ben_j]

I can't belive there was no Boards of Canada topic yet.

Anywho, big news lately, there's currently an active ARG teasing (what is thought to be) their 5th album, 13 years after the previous one.

People who placed order for new BoC merch on Warp/Bleep recently started receiving VHS Tapes with 7 hexagons on them, the content of the tapes was a bit cryptic and not much came out of it

Then, some creepy posters started appearing at various locations in London, New York and other big cities :


Finally, an official video was posted on BoC's Youtube channel, with new music

There is still no word on a new release, but it will soon come, for sure.


In other news, and with a convenient timing, new high quality rips of old and rare BoC material (A few old tunes, Old tunes Vol. 2, Boc Maxima) were recently released on https://www.rareboc.org/

Additionally, a reddit user came forward last year, claiming they found in their dad's stuff a CD with BoC stuff on it, including soundboard rips of some live shows, as well as unknown unreleased stuff. Everyone shut him out and dismissed it as fake, but a couple tracks from the soundboard rip surfaced recently, indicating that this user was in fact legit. Alas we might never get the rest of it...
