Perhaps this time some kind of lobotomy is to be advised? After all:

I've probably mentioned this before, but I think it'd be most refreshing if LP5 had no theme at all. I'd love a batch of loose tracks from every corner of the BoCverse.

A Few New Tunes.

That in itself also looks like a theme/concept, the long-awaited bocset in particular, don't you think?

I’d think that LP5 would be more of a lobotomy level happiness theme, something like B09 or Sac. Since TH made me cry about how depressing it was.

Well, not the bocset, but something similar in approach I guess.

Of course, the bocset was always intended to be an expansive compilation of early material, wheras I was merely suggesting a totally new album that isn't confined to any particular sound, theme or overarching concept, almost as if an 'Old Tunes'-style comp was constructed today, based on their post-TH material and disguised as an LP.

Basically, I wanna hear BoC make a Ween album.
Spoiler: show
(excluding The Mollusk as that, quite clearly, had a theme)

A second Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke single was announced by Warp yesterday, probably indicating an album rollout... I think we can forget about any hope for new BoC for a couple months.

Today BoC liked "new album please" kind of posts on their most recent Instagram post.
please, Marcus & Michael, drop a new album :(
plz come back
good things come to those who wait
come back please
new album please
a post from boc, new album omen?
please drop new album, been 11 years
need new music
new album button -->
The first from the list was confirmed by the commentator himself today on Reddit. The like on his post was given around 13:30 CET by the Boards of Canada account. I checked the other comments on that post and found a couple more likes.

Losing hope is not an option! They want to confirm that things are still coming, but they're not yet committing to 2025 or anything very soon. I guess they prefer playing safe this time? That's good!

This year will be either the biggest year for BoC fans, or yet another “fell for it again” award.

A fire may seem extinguished, However, Often a single ember is left glowing deep within the ashes. It may take hours, It may take days, But when the winds blow from just the right direction, with just enough force.. The fire can rage once more and burn bright once again

Waiting for the album is actually a part of Dark Souls lore. :lol:

Maybe they will just release their early albums and EPs finally after 30+ years, as we are asking for "new" music. :D

Maybe they should just re-release Geogaddi. Seems perfect for the times.

Personally I have a hard time listening to it unless I’m in the right head space. Reminds me to much of childhood nightmares.
