The posters are terrifying. I think in the past they’ve approached the references in their music with a degree of almost cold ambivalence: cults, abuse of power, freedom of speech, corruption, religious authority, they were referencing things from the past.
With all the evil currently happening across the world, I think we might be about to get an “angry” dystopic Boards of Canada album like Geogaddi

The tapes give off a completely different vibe than those posters. Maybe a fan thing?

Even if it's a fake/fans thing, those are some dope looking posters, though.

Looks like it could be a spiritual successor to Tomorrow’s Harvest, as in the ”tomorrow” is now and humanity is beginning to reap what it’s been sowing.

Which equals to… entering the Hell Interface

It’s most reminiscent of MHTRTC to me… the faceless children are now just pupilless

Love this imagery.

Seems like a neutral BoC next step after Tomorrow's Harvest.

you can see in the example photos that multiple things are advertised in one space
The top row is definitely unrelated. Rows of unrelated posters are common practice in London.

Can someone in the smoke independently verify these? Could be a clever fake.

The close-up Kubrick stare girl on the right doesn't quite look BoC to me. And, to be fair, hexagons are one of only 3 polygons you can tile like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_r ... an_tilings

and they look cooler than squares or triangles. So it seems like something others might end up using

But who knows

That's a pretty distinct difference though. Faceless just means "fading obscure memories", pupilless is full-on demonic, psychotic delirium. There are actual blood splatters too

The splatters, and colors in general, remind me of a liquid light show from the 60s

If these posters are legitimately connected to Boards, it'd be a change in tone from Tomorrow's Harvest, but not totally out of step with an increasingly deranged sense of humor that we've seen from them over the past few years. Remember the AI-generated melting face James Brown video, the inverted Hell Interface profile picture, and the piano video? I for one and am excited to see a more psychotic and twisted side of BoC come unleashed. Would be very fitting for the post-TH world we live in.

I've just popped out from work and they are definitely there. Sorry, I'm not quite sure how to share a photo here but I've uploaded to Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/2s6LAHc

Thanks so much!! This is looking like the art for chp with the overlaying colour splotches and degradedness, combined with like a weird horror vibe.

Just seen your photo on Reddit. How exciting! I hope it's not a hoax.
