Gotta say, Jacquard Causeway was the first title that really jumped out at me - glad to see it's the longest on the album. Only a long epic would fit such a title.

I think I've been charged already looking at my balance but it hasn't shown up on the recent transactions yet.

I have a backdoor pass.

I was thinking about the track titled "Transmisiones Ferox". Not to speculate too much, but most of the track titles do seem to be following a bleak-futuristic, if not apocalyptic, theme, with titles like "Sick Times", "Collapse", "Semena Mertvykh (The Seeds of the Dead)", "Come to Dust", etc. Ferox is a Latin word meaning "fierce" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferox). I was also thinking that, maybe, it could be a way of saying "rust", like ferrous-oxide, or something of the sort. I think it would go along with the theme of decay. Just a thought.

discography section on their website now also redirects to cosecha-transmisiones.com

edit: hopefully adding tomorrow's harvest to discography section :~)

Am I the only one who thinks this album doesn't fit in at all with their other art work

Posted this on the new release speculation thread too but,do you think we'll make to 10/06/13 before some moron leaks it?

I wanna hear it but am happy to wait.

I think it fits well enough. The centered titles and boring font in pure black are a bit of a disappointment but it's still fine for me.

Nature is being devasted at the moment and metallic future is taking over. I think that is the message in the nutshell. Have they lost hope on society and humanity or just want to remind people of what they are doing?

Nope, but as somebody who was telling people to lighten up over the MBV artwork, I don't mind.

It is nice artwork, and it is a new album so...

It's knid of like a movie poster from a certain era, which is in keeping with boc sentiments.

In what way? Geogaddi is quite different to the rest too.

I thought that too initially, but I think the picture itself is very BoC-esque. I think the type is the least BoC thing about it; figured the font color would be a contrast but soft color rather than black, but from the track titles that could be a reflection of how dark it's going to be.

the universe works in mysterious ways. This is the first time since 2006 I've not had a steady job. I'm completely broke, and about to lose my apartment if something doesn't change soon. Lo and behold a new Boards of Canada album pops up!!

This whole thing has been the only thing really keeping me afloat this whole time!! It's made me really really happy.

Man, some of these song titles are so fucking bleak. They are almost black metal! Cold Earth! Fits so perfectly right now. My god I'm excited!!

Welp, time to sell some shit!!

You can tell just from the snippits that this could be a very dark album. I hope it is.. Its fun to get lost in the dark part of your mind.. I just want to sit outside on a breezy warm spring day with clouds in the sky and my big ass headphones cranking the tunes.. Or maybe pop it in, open up my glass roof in my outlander sport and go drive through the hills..

That's about the same question I'm having. Or maybe the album is simply signifying "the end" times.
