>>129989686I like all of them except the one with the girl's half/full face, that is like cliched horror movie poster 101
3/4
4/4(the worst one)
Going back to the discussion last thread about what they must be doing for a living, I do wonder. You'd think they could easily be producers or sound engineers to pay the bills and stuff, but its pretty remarkable just how little you hear of them. burial is like a Kardashian compared to them
I believe I manifested LP5 by getting really into BoC again this year after a hiatus of listening to them.
>>129989821thank you anon. You are the geo to my gaddi
Come out, and live with a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country.
Nine Inch Noize is more anticipated, more hyped, more on demand. BOC meanwhile is a literally who today.
>>129989970tard
>>129989718They're selling enough records to live in rural Scotland, no problem.Those LPs are always in stock with fresh prints at every record store, and the tiktok music heads still like them
Notice: I distance myself from the artist's obvious Satanic belief. From now on this post is only here to inform about that.
Holy frickin shit, i just got a tape in the mail. should i watch it?
>>129990065DON'T YOU'LL GET ANALLY RAPED IN SEVEN DAYS
>>129989713Uh, this is the best one?
>>129990123This
>>129990005I suppose they probably will have had steady physical sales down the years, but they don't seem to have gone more than gold in any locality since Tomorrow's Harvest. Their streaming figures are ok of course but with the main streams paying fuck all and without playing live periodically that doesn't strike me as "made for life" territory. They do get licensed for tv shows and films now then I guess
>>129990165since their debut I mean
>>129990015They're just having fun with it. These guys don't worship the devil. They're good boys
>>129990165Autechre somehow makes enough to not work day jobs, so I'm not surprised BoC manages alright. Autechre goes on tour regularly however.
>trip-hop beat starts>somewhat cool synth melody comes in, but then never develops and just kinda repeats until the fade out one minute later because none of the tracks go anywhere and the longer ones are usually only longer because of some random noises to make it "interesting" and "deep">a multitude of about half cool half cheesy samples sprinkled throughout the tracks>interludes that are mostly boring or end right when they might be getting interesting and seemingly exist just to fill out the space in between the tracks to make it a full length LP>vibes that lean heavily into nostalgia factorsand there you have it, a BoC album
>>129990821Its a pinned comment on a lot of youtube uploads of their songs by some born again Christian Fruitcake. He put the comments up years ago but has arguments with people about it to this day lol>>129990844I guess maybe they also could have avoided the trappings of a lot of bands and bought a house early in their career something like that
>>129990898You already posted this: >>129967865

>>129990123>>129990151It's literally the most generic looking one of them all though, Even the lazy horror vibes aside, the gradient color on it makes it even cheaper looking.
>>129989511If this ends up being a tour announcement instead of new music, I'm tapping out

>>129991209WARP is funding all of that marketing for a fucking tour? Are they fucking stupid?
The ARG is cringe and gay, peak reddit moment
>>129991218>>129991209It's obviously not going to be a tour lads.
>>129991242tard
What is up now with this dogshit website now? This doesn't happen on Reddit?
lad the captchas are fucked today, just leave it when its says 100% percent and posting error

>tfw 1969 in the sunshine
ok but did anybody else think TH was kinda trash? it sounded like a mid soundtrack from an 80s movie or some shit.they found a really great sound with TCH and I wish they continued developing that. here's hoping whatever this new thing is has acoustic elements.
>>129991281What's funny is that this used to happen way more frequently, newfag tourists are just getting their first taste of it now. Posting used to go down completely for hours at a time. 4chan has been remarkably stable in recent years compared to the days of Mootles' regime
>>129992088I think they were both forgettable but TCH was markedly better than TH. I actually think their A Few Old Tunes was better than both, to say nothing of Geogaddi and Right To Children
>>129992088It's by far the least listenable of their stuff but I get why they were trying to do.Nothing is Real, Sundown, Semena Mertvkh and Reach For The Dead are as good as anything they have done. But I wouldn't mind more acoustic stuff yeah
>>129989718they both have music production companies afaik
New album gonna be mostly flutes. Mostly at night.
>>129992457https://voca.ro/1aBQEqrQ2egD
>>129992550666 sounds good 666
boards of canada? more like BORING of canada. uh, no. hold on. more like, more like I'm bored of... more like uh.. wait
>>129992088it's a good album but it's their most derivative and least interesting album because of how inspired it is by 70s/80s horror soundtracks. it lacks the distinct BoC quality of their other 3 albums outside of Nothing is Real
>>129992550What is this from?
>>129990015Horns are symbolic of virility, (You) impotent beta fa@@ot.
Boring. Just release the music, you pretentious hacks.
>>129989670>>129989695>>129989993>>129991257>>129991587Go back.
>>129992088New Seeds is one of their best songs
>>129989511how much did yall really like tomorrow's harvest? I've always been a huge BoC fan, and I was way tapped into the hype around TH in 2013. Probably listened to it like 5 times max in the years since. It's solid but idk, I was too hyped and it obviously wasn't gonna live up to their earlier shit. Just feel like i've been through this shit before...Maybe now that I have little expectations I'll enjoy this one more. Either way new BoC is massive and I'm excited
>>129992088Definitely not trash, but the soundtrack style of it definitely holds it back, tracks are too cinematic, feels like something is missing when you don't have visuals along with every track.
>>129993672you go back, mega tard>>129993666tardnice trips tho
>>129989705This is making me think we're getting Geogaddi 2
>>129995845It clearly is a Geogaddi 2, look at them hexaggons.
>>129995845wouldn't hate that at all
>>129995845Oh no, I wouldn't want a sequel album. I dislike that generally.
I hope we'll get some old tunes with the new LP5. Also the posters look like shit.>>129992550yaaa yaaa yaaa yaaa yaaa yaaa
Think we'll get anything new this weekend? I hope so at least
Lolz
>>129996519Am I supposed to know the reference on the right woman?

>>129996624IT'S HAPPENING!!!
Behold a new .jpg Maybe it will be something like the AFX shop.
>>129989511BOC are terrible, AI could do a better job at lining up samples. Vomit
>>129996656Tard
>>129996624is that a desert or snow?
>>129996169NTA but I guess they meant a spiritual successor rather than a straight up sequel lol. Obviously I want whatever is coming out to have it's own vibe but I wouldn't mind if it had the intensity of Geogaddi
>>129996706Looks like there's a bunch of trees to me
BoC NFT webshop perhaps?
>>129996706>big rollout for a jpgBravo warp.
>>129996656AI can't do that yet

>>129997191>>129997214This sounds beautiful, that last minute. This doesn't seem to be going for bleak dystopian vibesgod damn I got chills from that 2nd half
>>129997191>>129997214>>129997245It's alright.
is this gonna be the closer like how they promoted TH with the closer?
This may be the hype speaking, but I'm gonna say it may be their most beautiful track ever.
>>129997191>>129997214>>129997245BoC goes orchestral, incredible
This is incredible. I cant even..
FUCKING YESTEARS IN MY EYESSO GOOD
>>129997191>>129997214>>129997245it even includes the sacred three BoC notes at 2m08s
You won't fool me, this is another hoax. Their channel and site has clearly been hacked.

bros i'm thinking we're back
>>129997265Did they promote it with that? Thought it was just Reach For The Dead
>>129997594it was just RftD
>1:57>1:57>1:57
>>129997333We're boc
title menu music
>>129997191What the hell IT'S FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!
tape 05 though? Is this BoC set????Would be classic BoC for them to not even bother naming stuff fo the comp
I like the cult imagery. Part of me thinks that they're playing with the messiah returning aspect of cults to announce themselves as back. We've resurrected and now we're on our way. Anyway can't wait for them to go on Rick Beato/Joe Rogan/Strictly Come Dancing.
I'm still surprised Pitchfork hasn't even mentioned anything about the tapes and posters over the past few weeks, I wonder if they'll even review the album
>>129997663I think they're lightly ribbing their cult-like fans
>>129997214Exciting. I was expecting more creepy Geogaddi style but this is something different. 2:12 I was sort of thinking this melody would resolve the same as Aphex's Girl/Boy Song, very similar:https://youtu.be/6yy-Es6rp3U?t=116
>>129997663>Anyway can't wait for them to go on Rick Beato/Joe Rogan/Strictly Come Dancing.I'm curious, but have they ever given an interview where you can see their face?
>>129997664Pitchfork has gone full mainstream poptimist, who cares
>>129997594>>129997601Oh wait I think the album closer track might have been the background music on the secret website after you entered the code once it had been revealed in full. can anyone remember?
>>129997684We havent seen them in forever. They are old lads now. I don't think they want people to recognise them.
>>129997663>Anyway can't wait for them to go on Rick Beato/Joe Rogan/Strictly Come Dancing.What are you on about newfag?
>>129997684No, and the only recorded interview they've done was John Peel's radio show (they're off to the pub actually)
>>129997684their only public interview outside of text is the John Peel one
>>129997694>>129997701>>129997704I respect their dedication to stay off the grid and their complete disinterest in being famous
>>129997694eh there was a pic of one of the bros not too long ago I think? Whoever it was has aged well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bghDcbzfEUhttps://soundcloud.com/tape07no thanks
>>129997691>>129997664But they totally love boc
>>129997691According to Pitchfork, Music Has the Right to Children, is a 10/10 and effectively perfected home listening electronic music. I don't think they've ever given another electronic album a perfect 10. They've been riding BOCock for decades now.
>>129997721yeah, years ago. Sadly they've changed who they're trying to attract to their website. loads of old p4k stuff gets crickets on there now.
>>129997721They're right tho
>>129997727p4k core stuff*
>>129997717>https://soundcloud.com/tape07what is this gay ass shit
The mix on new track is dirty
>>129997708Mate of mine actually lives in the same town as Marcus and occasionally sees him out and about. Unsurprisingly, he does not actually live in an underground bunker.
>>129997721>I don't think they've ever given another electronic album a perfect 10.wrong.Bricolage, Endtroducing, Disintegration Loops, SAW II, Discovery, Ambient 1: Music For Airports, Live at the Liquid Room, Tokyo
>>129997746some fuckin opportunist
We're so back.
>>129997719>>129997721>>129997727>>129997732>>129997746They will give Geogaddi a 10/10 if they reevaluate sometime in the future
the fucknever thought i'd see the dayi was 100% sure they're done for good
>>129997806those cunts better give TCH at least an 8 too
I've been listening to Tape 05 on repeat for the past 30 minutes
>>129997825They would give that a 9 easily. Daft Punk's discovery went from a fucking 6.4 to a 10.
I remember the Tomorrow's Harvest live threads 13 years ago.It was the last time I posted on 4chan.Now we are here again... It's good to be back.
>>129997664>>129997691>>129997719>>129997721Pitchfork have now reportedhttps://pitchfork.com/news/boards-of-canada-return-with-first-new-music-in-13-years/
>>129997897too bad you've spent the entire time since that on reddit
1:42 onwards is so so so so goodJust makes me melt. Tears From The Compound Eye vibes
>>129997913too bad this board has consistently gone downhill since then and is now filled with midwits and k-pop gooners
>>129997911woah, some article that.. anyways.
>release doomer electronica LP>world goes to absolute fucking toilet>okay what if we send out something healinghopium time
>>129997897Welcome home
>>129997913We all make mistakes.Just lurk more and ignore the chaff desu
>>129997191>>129997214second half feels like their incorporation of new age instrumentation into the classic boc vibe, feels like a bit of 0PN influence with a unique spin. would make perfect sense given their religious theming. sublime track all around
>wow a new BOC track, let's see what /mu/ is sayi-
>>129998101I'd say we need to start spamming IDM threads to get that shit off the board but we don't have the numbers :(what the fuck are the jannies playing at seriously. the board will never get back to the glory days of the 10s but people casually browsing the board and seeing this shit isn't going to help
>>129997191Probably the opener, right? Definitely has the same sort of mood-building vibe as Gemini. Awesome song.
>>129998148I'm guessing it's either the ending or penultimate track. Though it does flow onwards from Semena Mertvkh
>>129998148>>129998167I feel it as an opener more than a closer
>>129998101
Anybody in New Zealand check spotify yet? I'm thinking this drops as a single at midnight with cover art?
>>129997191>>129997214>>129997245Assuming this is a track from the album, I'm really interested as to what the general "style" of it will be. The woozy synths here feel MHTRTC-esque, but it also has the mechanical intensity of a lot of Tomorrow's Harvest, and the organic guitar that comes in at around 1:52 reminds me of The Campfire Headphase.Wonderful song regardless, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2lyYEUPat8They kinda did something similar with Tomorrow's Harvest, there was a VHS style teaser with an album track.New track kinda feels like if Tomorrow's Harvest was a person but if they found God. Or someone calling themselves God.
>>129998285Pretty sure it's a harp, not a guitar. I'm feeling hopefulness with a tinge of melancholy but on a grander scale than anything that's come before.
>>129998285TH is heralding collapse of society. This feels like it's trying to find the joy (while still mourning the loss) in what remains while society crumbles around us. I'm 12 and this is deep
>>129998295The track in that promo was actually recorded directly to VHS in mono according to one of the interviews promoting the album
Checking in. Nice to feel something again.
>>129998347good to have you anon! I hope this starts a mini revival of the board/the BoC fanbase on /mu/. Listening party when?
*ahem*Gentlemen. We're back.
is there a rip on slseek yet? I don't have it d'led on my current computer
I'm so glad the track was good, I was kind of fearing that it'd be mid but I can't stop listening to it.It's actually one of their most beautiful tracks
