Boards Of Canada have a new album on the way!

01-04-2012 1:55am#1For the first time in 7 years the Scottish Duo, are recording a brand new album!
I'm absolutely stoked, and really hope it gets released this year!
Who knows, we may even get a 21/12/2012 release which would be in line with BoC's sense of humour!
I haven't been excited about an album like this in a long time.
There is also speculation that it may be a double album.12

About bloody time!
been waiting on this new album the past few years, it seemed like every year they were due to release something new. If it's anything as good as The Campfire Headphase I will be a very happy camper.
Now we just need Aphex Twin to do the same...0 -
Hehe, was expecting a backlash of "ya right, aprils fools" responses!
But yep, seems legit.
They changed their myspace status to "in the studio" on the 22nd of December:

They have tweeted a few links to their facebook, youtube page (which has some very nice playlists of their favourite fan made videos), and website:

And best of all on their facebook page...

That sums it all up doesnt it. They've been "working on new material" for something like 4 years now. I wouldn't get your hopes up for 2012 to be honest.
6 years actually!

BOC are never 'not working', they're always in the studio. They've been in the studio solidly since 2006 working on the new records you'll be hearing soon. If we had put a notice up on the official site back in 2006 to the effect that "BOC are in the studio", you would no doubt be complaining now that the notice hadn't been changed in three years.
I think the bold part of that post is interesting.
The fact that they now have put up a status saying they're "in the studio" on myspace, and confirmed a new album is on the way on facebook it seems that something is on the way soon, I certainly do not think we will be waiting another 6 years.
If i was to bet, I'd say we'd be seeing a release in the next 2 years at the most.
But of course nothing is set in stone, and delays can always happen.
I waited a over a decade for Duke Nukem Forever to be released, I can certainly wait for this!
Thankfully though, in comparison to DNF, the chances of BOC writing off a legacy is slim to none. 0 -

Ah ye, Im not saying it'll be another 6 years. You're probably in around right with 2 years. MDG is the one that also runs that facebook page too, so its all coming from him.
Just saying that a new BOC album isn't imminent.0 -

Music Has The Right To Children and The Campfire Headphase are double LPs.
Geogaddi is a triple.
Looking forward to this - they've been too quiet.0 -

Great news. Been loving The Boards since the start. There's been so much longing and anticipation of a new album, I hope it doesn't disappoint!
In the meantime, those of you suffering from cravings for new BOC material may find Tipper and Ulrich Schnauss help a little. Not assuming anything. Just a heads up for those who may not have discovered these two great artists.

I hate him too:pac:Does the Loop reunion deserve's it's own thread?
As for BOC, it's going to end tonight, I can feel it. I would not be suprised if they play a secret gig tonight.
No matter what way you look at this, it's full of win!
New album of old tunes made brand new?0 -
