Also, the new BoC twitter page has a higher quality avatar, revealing that the sun is a hexagon (people probably saw it before but I never noticed)

Where'd you see this?

I saw his face and immediately thought "isn't that the guy from this video? "

Well that's successfully brought my hope level to a 0

I've gotta say, that was very well done. I'm actually more annoyed that I wont be hearing that in studio quality than it not being real.

the "pretend" friend of the band has now started uploading random stuff to his page

either this is someone trying to get attention (98%) or a boc arg (2%)

here's something
a comment on the Hooper Bay leak from what sounds to be an acquaintance of the band. possibly bullshitting, using Scottish slang. at this point, who knows https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/482361682946162690/1099017096135970937/image.png

Also, could Noatak be the track they're referring to with "the use of kids' voices was a hint of what was to come"? I don't hear any other possible samples of that type anywhere else on the record. I'm torn on whether the music itself is legit or not, if it's an imitation then it's a really good ...

for anyone who needs confirmation for Hooper Bay's releases.
200 copies, i guess 100 tape and 100 12"?

Oh yea, it 100% is the same. Side B seems to have a lot more contrast, though that could be the camcorder.

Anyone have any info on the image on side B? Is it one of the faces from the cover? I'm patiently waiting for him to upload more photos of the album art.

Well, BoC are not really known to name titles after words that appear in their music. For example, in ‘From One Source All Things Depend’, one of the children says “rule the world”, which is where they nabbed the title for ‘Rue The Whirl’, despite that sample not appearing anywhere in that song. It ...

You kids are crazy!

Exactly! My Granddad is better with an iPhone than I am, and I'm 17. Age is no excuse for a shoddy recording.

I don't think you can call them "clear".

This video might help

Noatak sounds nothing like the actual live song we've all heard. This sounds fake af.

The proof of that track being Noatak is limited at best, though I have speculated myself:

How did I miss that? You're right

Maybe we should ask MDG to confirm/deny this, before the owner decides to sell it for 10,000$...
I somehow doubt we'll get a better quality recording/photos. :(

I mean why hasn't he uploaded more images of the vinyl? Why is he trying to protect everything? There's no way he doesn't have a better ...

I don't think there are any on Side A, but Point Hope (I think?) has some.
Also, is it ridiculous to think the track lengths could be different on the tape and 12" releases?
I don't know much about vinyl, but would there be a reason to do that?
