Poll: How likely is a 2018 Release ?

[Valotonin]

Personally I feel it is between 60% - 80% (but closer to 80)
It would be interesting to hear reasons as to why people think it is likely/ unlikely.

As they said that the wait would be shorter between albums this time, I feel 2018 would be a pretty reasonable year to expect a release, whether it takes the form of an EP or an LP

choose 50/50 and you never going to miss.

tho i'm still rooting for 20200220

50/50 between the very end of this year, and right on 5/5 next year. I don't see us going past 2018 without a release. Without going into specifics about the reasons for 5/5 (those are discussed elsewhere, of course) it would also be a nice nod to Telepath (fiiiiive)- and yes, I realize its a Saturday, but if Warp will release an album on New Years Day for Eno, they would do this for BoC.

I think in an interview, Marcus talked about his desire to put something into their music that would only make sense years later (can't find the quote now) so I would say this qualifies for something like that.

Anyone else think that the 0% vote was MDG?

Briefly leaving the Gents toilet stall (Now equipped with coffee maker, convection oven and mini-fridge all connected rather dangerously to the shaver plug) to tell us not to be so optimistic

Edit: Or telling us to be extremely optimistic depending on one's interpretation

2017.

Where is the "Who the hell knows?" option in the survey?

[Opothecary]

I lied, it's 6/22/18, but we'll get the news on 5/5

[Cupz]

release as in LP?

release as in LP?

EP, LP or Unreleased music poll doesn't include remixes though.

Basically any collection of BoC music we haven't heard before.

[Valotonin]

I think I should have made it 'How likely is a 2017/18 release' as people are likely voting the lower % options for very different reasons.

[Cupz]

going all in for 80/100

[nick47]

No. Maybe a remix. Honestly, I hope they wait another few years. It would be weird to get more new stuff so relatively soon. Lets go for 10 years this time

[Solynth]

Boards of Canada 2049.

Dear god let us pray that Marcus or Mike never read this post.

Boards of Canada 2049.

If only they’d been asked to do that soundtrack.

[Sherbet Head]

60-80%

I think there's a good chance they'll release something next year, but I won't be completely shocked if nothing surfaces.

You've got to remember, when BoC were in their heyday, they'd pretty much release an album every few years with an EP drop in-between.

[Xaugh]

100%, but what month. And all we can do really is hope. Cos none of us truly are... Boards of Canada.

[Opothecary]

I for one am looking forward to listening to it and having a good laugh about all this speculation with a pint of sherbet along with some friends around a nice late summer bonfire

Oh I remember. These are not those days though. Dont get me wrong more music from them would be great, but thats not how it has been for a while now.

december is a terrible month to release an album

looks like 2018 if it actually happens
