I was already on the verge of buying new stuff to improve my HiFi setup
Now that there's a strong possibility of new BoC coming I guess I have no choice but pull the trigger

I guess the new question is how many tapes will be sent out? Will they all have the same serial numbers or do we need to collate them? European postal deliveries should be happening today.

Also worth bearing in mind RST is just eleven days from now.

The only reason I'm a little skeptical is because the reuse of the Reach From the Dead image, and the image of the sun/moon from the Warp vernal equinox release. Too easy to lift that stuff and plug it in.

That said, this would be a whole new level of psychopath if this is a hoax.

It seems to be slightly animated in the video, so it adds something extra to just the image. Still fakable of course.

And it'd have to be a group effort. I mean, it's possible. Not discounting that possibility quite yet. I'm wildly veering between 'it's fucking real' to 'it can't be'.

Resident Advisor posted an article: https://nl.ra.co/news/84925

The final part of their article used to say:
If verified, the campaign would mark the first new music from Boards of Canada in over a decade. Resident Advisor has reached out to Warp for confirmation.
The final part of their article now says:

Resident Advisor has reached out to the group's representatives. Warp were, unusually, unavailable for comment.
Warp playing the hush game? Colour me orange!

The easiest way to figure out what's real from all the fakes we've seen over the years is to ask yourself if this could have been done by anyone or if it could have only come from an official source. It's not impossible that someone could have made VHS tapes and mailed them out to BoC fans but overall I'd say this is the best evidence we've had in 13 years that it's something official.

A third may have been received. Interesting, as it's a UK resident and the VHS is marked PAL. I'm beginning to believe.

A few reddit users noticed that the warbly music on the tape is in fact the reversed version of Little Star by The Elegants from SxT.
