I came here to hopefully find more speculation and discussion around BOC and this new project, but I literally found more discussion on fucking reddit. Jesus Christ. Literally move to Reddit for your music discussion.

what did you want to say about it?
theres no info, no date, no confirmation even. no new track or even snippet sample of music. theres literally nothing to talk about. except I suppose people could post "maybe album soon" over and over again
Im not a teenager any more. if theres a new album, great. I'll listen to it and probably enjoy it when it comes out. I'll probably also come here to say what I think of it and find out what others think, but Im not going to sit around pulling my chicken while I wait.

That’s the entire point of an ARG, though? It’s just another form of marketing. Generates hype for the upcoming album that spreads through word-of-mouth online. You don’t have to pay attention to all of it

I was here in 2013 and there was wayyyy more effort by /mu/ into solving the Tomorrow's Harvest ARG. I remember how hyped people were when Reach for the Dead dropped and then the disappointment when Tomorrow's Harvest dropped. It's a good record but anticlimactic given the hype they'd built up over the three-four month pr campaign (too subtle)

Do you really need to be told that BOC are influential? They've inspired other electronic musicians like Four Tet to fucking Radiohead. Their sound is unique, very distinctive and highly acclaimed, of course they're gonna be influential.

I definitely agree with you on Tomorrow’s Harvest and I think that’s a pretty common sentiment. I hope that this album is more spooky like Geogaddi which judging by the teaser it might actually be.

>>129917508
>like Geogaddi
It's funny you say that because I'm hoping for something more acoustic like The Campfire Headphase
Or, if they go the spooky route something like In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
But I would appreciate anything at this point, really
The tape distribution being limited to first party purchasers is disappointing but understandable
They have no way of knowing I spent a shit ton on a Japanese copy of a CD with a bonus track sadly

They are huge and BOC inspired them. BOC are very influential. I do agree that Radiohead is overrated tho. Doesn't change that fact

>>129912393
>go outside, the internet is evil
That's more of a noided deathgripsian message, too focused on personal agency. BoC is typically more nihilistic than that. They tend to focus on big picture stuff. Global warming, nuclear holocaust, the supernatural, etc. I don't think they believe it matters what we do. Tomorrow's Harvest and Geogaddi are artistic gestures that I think corroborate this. Obviously some of their stuff (e.g. Campfire Headphase) is tinged with a streak of hope but generally BoC is quite reclusive and bleak.

>>129913087
>I don't have time for their cryptic hype bullshit
that's like 50% of what boards of canada even is

I'm worried bros. Their last album was so final and predictive it seems like a really hard record to top even though it was considered a disappointment at first.

>>129912303
It's probably because this is such a boring way to create hype around an album. Didn't they do the same thing in 2013? I don't really have the energy these days to play games for three months straight before hearing any kind of music, I'll just wait patiently until the album comes out and I can listen to it.

Funny you say this, Tomorrow's Harvest literally begins with a movie style jingle. That's the basic read that it's supposed to be a soundtrack to an unseen Threads style movie. But the tracks are recominational (unsurprisingly for a concept album about atomic war), so the "dual albums" (track 1-9 / track 10 - 17), reverse order and "paired" sequence (1, 18, 2, 17, ect) are also legitimate ways to listen.

I think a lot of people write it off as being bleak or one note because it's varying the same theme with a slow tension ratchet and a pretty overt narrative, no mysticism, just the looming anxiety of war and then death.

New Seeds is one of the coolest things they've made ever though, imo. Like the track implies a tense effort to preserve life, presumably with a seed vault, hence the staccato fast tempo guitars that sound like telegraphs. Then like 2 mins in, you start hearing all these choral voices that have really cavernous reverb tails, the kind of which are only possible in long deep spaces, implying descent into the vault but because it comes after "sundown" and just before the apocalyptic "come to dust", it always struck me that the implication was that the choral voices are supposed to be screams, smoothed out into angelic cries by the reverb tail of the vault's absurd depth. (the same voices reprise after the artillery drum loop in "come to dust" btw)

idk, part of me thinks that maybe the problem with Tomorrow's Harvest is that it happened in 2013 when the optimism of early millennialism hadn't quite worn off. Maybe if it dropped now or even like 2018, it'd be hailed as their best.

>/mu/ is so dead not even new BoC gets the board excited beyond a few unlucky souls who are still stuck here 10 years after its death
Makes me sad, not even trying to be a whiny asshole or anything it's just sad.

or maybe there's just not as much demand for mood music sloppa anymore now that AI can whip it up in seconds

I honestly fear for the worst for their new release. I genuinely think it might bomb. They've been out of the game for so long now and their records are so critically acclaimed, it's hard to match it, let alone exceed it.

>>129923102
both their last two albums were relatively weakly received by the fanbase in general and still got a decent audience. It should be ok

>>129923128
the more I listen to campfire headphase the more I like it, it's gotten to the point where it's my most listened to album by them and I'd probably call it my favorite by now, at least tied with Geogaddi.

TH is good but I just don't revisit it that often

What's the reason they're not releasing this shit? They have a shit ton of unofficial unreleased tracks, can't they create a compilation or something? Do you not want your music to be out there officially as an artist? It's not like their unreleased tracks are dogshit. There are some really good tracks there.

>>129925516
seeing as how they're nigh on perfectionists, the early stuff must rough as shit and not worth trying to rejig.

I'm huffing as much hopium as I can here, so I refuse to believe this new marketing campaign is going to result in anything less than a full studio album with 95% new material. If they were planning on releasing a new compilation of their older and unreleased stuff, they could announce it somewhere on an official social media account and it would be huge. People would get excited and there wouldn't be any backlash, but creating this pretty big marketing campaign, sending out a dozen VHS tapes to people all over the fucking world, you have to come in with the real deal or there's going to be a lot of backlash.

Having said that, I've lately been going through their unofficial and unreleased stuff and I'm hearing a lot of stuff in there that I think can be brought up to par with their usual quality with some additional tweaking. Take this track for example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7MNoZQOCvQ

I am unsure whether or not this actually was even made by BOC. This feels more like a Seefeel track in some way. It's very classic 90s IDM scene though.

I sure hope that these are unofficial. Looks like something an artsy teenager would come up with.

Honestly their only great album to me is Geogaddi. The faux-psychy nostalgia bait of MHTRTC and the folktronica of Campfire Headphase doesn't speak to me much.

Not directed at you, but I find with these kinds of lists, TH tracks are often excluded or lightly mentioned. I think TH has some of their best tracks actually.

>Nothing Is Real
Very nostalgic track for me. Just beautiful.
>Split Your Infinities
Another beautiful track, but this one more futuristic.

Some of my other favorites, maybe less popular tracks
>84 Pontiac Dream
>Sherbet Head
>Oirectine
>Dawn Chorus
>Sunshine Recorder

MHTRTC is my favorite, so I like everything here, but some of my standout favorites
>Telephasic Workshop (very futuristic sounding track)
>Triangles & Rhombuses
>Bocuma
>Smokes Quantity
>Open the Light
>One Very Important Thought

I associate MHTRTC with retrofuturism in my head. Both old and new.

I listened the fuck out of TH when it came out to the point that there's a lot of songs from it it in my most played at last.fm. But idk, I find I don't have the urge to listen to individual tracks on it a lot, it just works so good as a full album but I'm rarely in the mood to listen to it all the way through.

>>129912303
Finally checked BoC out. Honestly not that impressed. Like some cool soundscaping but don't really see why they're GOAT wanked.

>>129956392
That's generally how first impression goes if you go in with high expectations. Same thing happens with movies you watch that have some legendary status behind them, that first impression tends to underwhelm, then you rewatch it and you appreciate it for real

>>129956417
nta but the thing is that they aren't really that much "better" than other artists you can find out there. It's just that their place in the history of electronic is already cemented and everyone refers to them as some of the GOATS so it's easy to pick them up from a place of ignorance and immediately vibe with it. And I don't mean that in a bad way, I'm just saying that personally as someone who listens to a lot of other electronic music and doesn't really understand the hype relative to some other stuff out there.
Like this EP for example I would take any day over BoC, but does anyone outside of some heads even know who Ike is? Not really, he doesn't have that "legendary" status to make people revisit the music or give it a deeper listen than they might at first.

>>129956366
Who are these faggots?

With the tapes and the art evoking images of varies stages of their career I can't shake the idea that is going to be a big career reterospective thingy. not a traditional best of, but a collection of all the unreleased and rare stuff in one place maybe? Which honestly I wouldn't even be mad about. TH works as a final album from them, and a rarities comp would be a nice coda.

Would Warp spare the expense for such a campaign if it's not an original new work is the main thought against it.

>>129956582
>It's just that their place in the history of electronic
How did this even happen? Were they music plants?
Industrial artists predate them.

>>129956582
Just listen to more I promise you that’s not the case. Also whatever you just linked sounds insanely boring once you’ve listened to a decent amount of IDM.

>>129957304
>Would Warp spare the expense for such a campaign if it's not an original new work is the main thought against it.
it's a handful of vhs tapes and a poster that may or may not be legit. "campaign" lol

I could literally say the exact same thing about BoC that's my entire point.
>>129957677
No they're hardly plants. They have a very original sound that evidently resonates with a lot of people which is probably why they got big. Like I'm not going to lie and say they're unoriginal or anything but what I WILL say is that sometimes going back and listening to some of their stuff later it isn't THAT interesting. They just have a very original voice and sound. And that's not a bad thing, it works for them and it's a good sound too. It's just not for absolutely everyone

>>129912786

I have a huge affinity for their short tracks, dunno why but they hit differently. Anyways, in no particular order my top 11 because I had a lot of trouble between the last two:

yeah more elsewhere in London too. Hope to see them in Asia too in classic BoC fashion.

I'm hoping it's not another miserable album from them. My poor heart couldn't take another TH style doomfest.

chinese zoos often see their animals die prematurely because patrons throw so much trash into their enclosures. they had to put up signs and many of them had to redesign their enclosures entirely to address this.
under the one-child policy it was extremely common for people to just straight up kill their infant daughters and eat them to dispose of the bodies.
japan and thailand have perhaps the most widespread csa problem in the world.
north korea is north korea.

there are no super clean advanced societies completely free of sin. people are savages wherever you go. humans are animals after all.

>>129967182
you get far less petty theft in those places, I'm not saying they're all utopias and don't have their own problems Certainly the poster wouldn't won't be stolen within a fucking day in Tokyo or Shanghai or wherever.

>>129967203
>you get far less petty theft in those places
even that's not really all that true except for maybe north korea but that's only because you're under such strict surveillance and the punishments for minor infractions are so severe that life itself is barely even worth living at all.
but china? japan? thailand? there's petty theft everywhere

It was ae who discovered boc, think the lore is Sean heard one of the tapes and got Skam to sign them before they got big on Warp

>tip-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 factors

and there you have it, a BoC album

>>129967865
you say all that like its a bad thing

>>129967929
I mean it isn't, necessarily. But it does get pretty boring pretty fast, at least to me

I'm really hoping they become less fussy in their old age and just put some of this shit out. It's a little weird how track being leaked almost burns it in their eyes.

>>129975584
They have to escalate the marketing, right? both the tapes and posters have peaked in terms of buzz by now, so they'll probably do something else

I like that the tapes they sent out were seemingly to normal people and fans of their stuff, they didn't send the tapes to a bunch of music publications to bait them into writing about it

I've never been able to make it through the entirety of SAW 2 before I swear. The first track is nice but the second one... I really really really do not understand it lmao. The melody just isn't appealing AT ALL and considering that there's hardly any interesting sound design or production going on I just have no reason to like any of it. I don't really remember much after that since I always end up turning it off to go listen to something else but skimming through some of the tracks I guess it just sounds like very mid and repetitive haunted house videogame ambiance?
