They're undoubtedly still making music... if you were as talented and invested in music as the bros, I'd hope you would only stop when death calls. I can't help but feel like they would be disappointed reading through most of these comments. Create something of your own, solve a puzzle, go outside. Timelessness takes time.

Looks like cosecha-transmisiones.com is no longer working, gives me "522 No Reason Phrase" error.

The recent discussion about cosecha-transmisiones got me thinking:

I remember at one point there being mention from someone who was involved in organizing the TH ARG, that part of the plan could need (or needed?) giving the community some 'nudges' in the right direction.

Was it ever found out what those nudges were, and who gave them? I assume that these nudges would have been posts here from users who hadn't been active previously, who were actually Warp / TH ARG insiders, but never saw those posts identified.

I think the ARG was, in and of itself, the nudging.

Vinyl that someone has to physically buy
Youtube videos
Twoism involvement
"no no the music is down by the truck!!" at the listening parties

TH's entire campaign was nudging people lol.

No, i think everyone is off to the pub... after the nobody home... site died a death, and all hope of a new arg.

It would have been nice to see seefeel, their sound is very boc.

But alas, it just costs too much money to travel to London, Book a hotel, buy the ticket etc.

I think it’s back to waiting passively, here’s to 2026 - at least they’re indicating something is planned

Been checking this thread pretty frequently since I was one of the lucky likes in March, but any online activity seems to have peaked with the “Nobody Home” stuff

I'm still hopeful for a 2025 release - we're not even halfway through the year yet, still plenty of time for something to happen.

The Barbican event hasn't happened yet, so no point in prematurely discounting some sort of hint or teaser happening there. Then there's the fact that 2025 is the 30th anniversary of Twoism, and it's fairly likely they'll acknowledge that in some way.

Whatever happens, we won't know when it's happening until it does. It could be announced next week for all we know.

This. :idea:

As usual, I do not expect Warp to release a new album in December. All winter months are historically pretty dead in terms of new music.

Taking into account about 52 days Warp has in between announcement and release of most of their albums, a latest announcement date for an autumn release should fall on Tuesday, October 7. This then means a release on Friday, November 28.

Personally, I favour a summer release. This would then mean an announcement no later than Tuesday, July 8, with a subsequent release on Friday, August 29.

In conclusion:
- This gives us another 130 days for an autumn release. In short a 4 months for an announcement.
- For a summer release another 39 days. In short just over a month for an announcement.

My prediction would be:
- announcement: Tue 24 June
- release: Fri 15 August (BoC/Twoism 30th anniversary)

One downside to this prediction is Fri 15 August falls in the middle of a month and labels either launch records early or late in the month because business wise that's the most clever thing to do. All Warp's 2024 albums have been released either early or late in the month. So far the same this year.

It's possible the website was a way to gauge how closely the fans are paying attention outside of this huge thread, but I am more inclined to believe that Warp and BOC wanted to rip an inactive website down and did it in a more blatant way after "nobody home" got so much attention.

Warp has been focusing on so many legacy acts as of lately and there's one that's absent from that focus. This is what keeps me hanging on that we may see something from them this year or next, but I'm not holding my breath.

I think https://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ is currently down with error 522 (timeout).

That's right, mr_udders reported it here on May 20. (an overview)
Nothing has changed since then, and I don't expect anything to change.

In this Guardian article, "Glastonbury announces full lineup for 2025 … but who are Patchwork? Festival adds secret sets to lineup at prime slots on Pyramid and Park stages, as it reveals full timings and artist details"

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/ ... -patchwork

...there's some interesting stuff including:
Over on the Tree stage, a previously announced artist listed with a seemingly random stream of glyphs is likely to be Four Tet, who curates a Spotify playlist under the same name.
There's also, but less likely to be BoC, these:
And there is the usual range of WTF-provoking artist names further down the bill, this year including Twat Union, Psycho-Acoustic Goat, Spambiguous Intentions, Formidable Vegetable, DJ Fart Eater doing a back-to-back set with DJ Stink Bomb, and an experience entitled Oedipussi: Choose Your Own Drag Adventure.
