GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[broke]

The longer the ?????? is up, the more I think it's them. That said, I can picture them just waiting it out until next year to try to separate themselves like you said.

I bet it's going to be another Autechre album. I know it's seven "?" but i think they just forgot one...

[Davism]

Also, I really do think that Adult Swim post is them. Between that and the banner pic, I remain hopeful.

Whoever said that they had nothing to do with their old label, Skam was spot on. And I respect them for coming out about it.

That Adult Swim post is more likely something to do with them than AMKS was, because BOC have a big history with Adult Swim and their bumper music. I'm still not convinced fully about it being BOC, but at least we know that BOC are pretty well known for interacting with AS.

Also turning the smiley face upside down made it look like a winter sky and that ties in with the Jan 22 plaque theory.

[Navaru]

Almost to 666

Would they really tie a release date to pages in this thread?

imo, we got nothing. but fun to read your speculations nonetheless. wish i was this optimistic

Almost certainly not, but around here we like to believe that the big turquoise hexagon in the sky smiles upon certain numbers

agreed... I highly doubt the bothers would have Adult Swim post that snippet and expect us to just *know*. seems too far out there. whatever it is tho, sounds cool!

[demo]

Good on amks for coming out and clearing things up for us.

My next hope is now set on the Jan 22nd date, maybe not a release date but I'm hoping it could be an announcement date.

EDIT: Also, that 2nd autechre release is rumoured for November sometime, so ??????? could be that 2nd ae album.

Yeah I don't know why I sounded so optimistic in this post. I'm kind of like 'whatever' now.

If it happens, cool. But I'm not holding my breath anymore.

Which I think is honestly what they want since they have more weight on their shoulders than any other electronic act on the planet. I don't even think Aphex has as much expectations directed towards him as BOC do from the critics, the fans and their own "mythos."

In fact, I actually kind of buy into this Jan 22nd as the final BOC transmission theory because then they can finally break out of the BOC mold and maybe do other kinds of music in the public sphere.

[Sl Flk]

I now believe that they will announce a new album and a tour like a 'normal' band would. Who else is going? Who you going with and what you wearing?

well, new NEW Autechre is out https://bleep.com/release/209219-autechre-plus-

[writetomhatcher]

Amazing! New Autechre album PLUS is out today—preorder and you can listen in full. And the beatink page still has the ???????s

[demo]

It's funny having both Boards of Canada and Autechre as my favourite artists.

One releases music at a very steady rate and the other one is well... Boards of Canada, lol

Keep an eye on that website, I seriously wouldn't be suprised if ??????? turns out to be Autechre now.

Anyway, I'm off to go listen to PLUS, stay strong BoC fans!

[Davism]

So the ??????? is missing one ? if it was trying to spell Autechre. But ironically the 2nd set of ????s could spell PLUS. Wouldn't that be funny if the just miscounted. That said, there's no way it's repping a new BoC album.

[Vaporized]

No offense guys but I don't know how anyone could listen to this. I'm trying here but this is not music. It just sounds like a bunch of weird sounds effects.

Enjoy it but meh. Hard pass.

[Moloch]

Well, music is random sounds until you make sense of them.

[Vaporized]

This makes no sense in my head I guess.

this is assuming the amount of question marks matters... and if it did I don’t think they would be incorrectly counted... that being said, “Remixes” does fit within the parentheses so if we were going the question mark route I would guess it’s “Autechre - SIGN (Remixes)”

imho the stuff within the parentheses will be (BRC-XXX).
