One or two months ago when I heard Bibio was releasing his new album I accidentally started exchanging PMs in LastFM with a guy that worked in Warp. When he told me this I couldn't stop myself from asking him if he knew something about a new BoC album and his response was that he "didn't thought there was anything new coming from them". For a moment I thought about sharing it here but I didn't because I realised that just because he was working for Warp didn't mean he had to know what was happening at BoC's studio. Now I feel I was right; I'm so excited! These next couple of weeks/months are going to be a nightmare just waiting for a press release to drop!

You're crazy. sorry....

He's not half as crazy as I am. For the first time since... I saw the screen having a white background flashing before loading the backgroundpic. And the vertical outline of the boardsofcanada logo was at the top, not center.

But the worst of all to me now is the fact that I go to the discography-page and can't see it. It's not there????

Guess my karma is the opposite of that of Mexicola

lol - there's a screenshot on the first page of this thread. Trust me, it's no more interesting if you can see it for real :wink:

I understand the implications and past history of mysterious black boc boxes. But I'm not gonna lie, I'll be excited when something more concrete is announced.

But think about it man... how much more black could it be?

Youre right! Typical BOC. You always have to experience things a few times before you get whats going on. I wonder what else i'll have found in this black box by 2014??????

Works for me too. Update your flash plug in or something.

So Is anyone thinking of buying this when it comes out then?

a box appeared like it did for the last LP and EP
the music is now gone (used to be a loop)

Why they would do this if nothing was planned would be even more strange IMO

Lolers, spinal tap.

One of my all time favorites. :lol:

EDIT:

Also... I don't even know why some of you think that a new album wouldn't be just over the horizon, let alone not coming out at all. They said a new album was on the way, why can't people just hear this, take the words to heart, and stop freaking out about everything.

A new album is on the way, period. Lets all just wait patiently for it.

Just a box? THE box. No matter how long it's there, it will remain in our hearts forever.

Just in the last year there has been myspace updates, facebook posts, slight changes in the website code, the nuke banner, discog changes, boctober crazy talk that recycles every year and now this. Surely there's more I don't recall as well. Fanatics cry wolf at all of that. All I'm saying is, I'll believe it when I have an album in my own hands. My hopes will go up when there's an official announcement that's more substantial than MDG saying they're working on something. Because that's obvious they're musicians they'll always be working on something.
