Just discovered this song by Peverelist...did Boards of Canada rip off the beginning for Cold Earth? Came out a year beforehand. Probably a coincidence.

Was listening to Gescom's Key Nell EP this afternoon, and noticed that the vocal processing sounds incredibly similar to that on Telephasic Workshop. Compare and tell me if I'm just crazy:

What's been cracked?

Something about this doesn't seem right to me...sure, the picture is higher resolution, but the 3s on the eyes as well as the Boards of Canada text just look off. It seems to me like somebody added them into the picture afterward digitally. Something about them seems too crisp, new, and digital to ...

What the hell is "aW5maW5..."!!??
(Has a certain rhythm to it when you say it repeatedly)

It's in base64. it translates to "infinite lines of colourful sevens".
Account name is "february 2014".

Hmm...kind of debunks it then, doesn't it?

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this song was, in ...

The biggest draw of Boards of Canada's music for me has always been the unique form of nostalgia it evokes. Their early, unreleased works in particular gives me a the same dreamy fondness I feel when when reflecting on the mysterious nature of growing up in a childhood immersed in both technology ...

yeah...the dude who started the account in the first place edited his hell interface video before deleting it with annotations about how he faked the account out of boredom while his leg was broken. just another hoaxer. as for the last.fm stuff - it's interesting but probably a dead end. just like ...

The Old Tunes, R35TT, and Boc Maxima are my most listened to Boards albums. I know that the band themselves don't like the fact that those private releases are out there, but I wouldn't trade their existence for anything. Lo-fi music that is made for the sheer joy of making it speaks to me on a ...

The uploader of those videos added text to the Hell Interface Remix vid before it closed basically saying that it was a hoax account he set up because he had nothing better to do and that people obsessing over it should get a breath of fresh air. Seeing as this thread has gone on for ten pages I can ...

someone is clearly too stoned to function

This is an argument I have noticed here in the wake of the debunked remix. The mysterious origins and various unknown circumstances around Boards of Canada make them one of the most interesting bands in the world to me, and make me love their music even more. Their songs sound dreamlike enough, but ...

fake as hell. none of the track lengths even match up

yeah that woah track is super weird. it also sounds absolutely nothing like boards of canada, though they have used that cut-up vocal method before i guess. is there any way you can find out who uploaded it?

I don't know why people aren't more interested in this. Maybe there have been too many ...

I don't think that this whole thing necessairly means a new album. I just think it's fascinating that we're being led down a rabbit hole that may or may not never have even been intended to exist. Regardless of whether there is any actual connection between this last.fm account, the leaked song, and ...

what the actual fuck. all of this is weirder than the rsd incident.

I'm sure whoever is behind this loves seeing everyone get in a frenzy over it though

I'm holding out on getting my hopes too high. The uploader of these videos didn't disable comments like all of the other Boards accounts did. I don't know, just doesn't seem consistent with what they've been doing so far. And the two other snippets are nice but don't sound much like early BoC. I'm ...
