Something akin to Campfire definitely. It has always hurt my heart that Tomorrow's Harvest was next for the #1 TCH fans

A continuation of something (thematically and musically) after TH would be very interesting to see. Musically TH was a perfect sounding album for me, but I feel there's something new on the horizon. Something that would surprise many fans.

A Campfire Headphase/Tomorrow's Harvest combined continuation sounds like the meatiest most flavorful thing I could ever imagine

Voted for the Bocset, but would equally want something totally new.

There's something I adore about those primitive BoC recordings. All of those tapes have a specific quality that is unmatched, and I literally haven't been able to find it anywhere else from any artist. Hearing that stuff cleaned up (just a lil' bit) and the prospect of receiving more material from that era would be an absolute treat. Not only that, but we'd (hopefully) get to hear all those Geogaddi outtakes. Let the salivation commence!

On the flip side of that, one of the main things we all love about Boards is their ability to change things up with each record and deliver a totally unique sonic experience, so I'd be just as excited to hear them try their hand at something new.

Something new, but while I'm not a synthwave fan at all, I think a BoC album with such influence could be awesome or at least interesting.
