Regardless, like many many many people, he has made predictions and jokes for the last 7 years (at least) about new albums. He's a troll at best imo. If it's not intentional on his part then he should just keep his mouth shut.

well the person who said an album is coming June this year is pixelives. he knew about the release of Autechre's Exai about a month before anyone else did. Joyrex just kinda agreed with pixelives that he also heard something about a June release.

yep, this is basically where we're at. pixelives is obviously in the know to some degree, maybe we will hear something soon

Pixelives is pretty cool. I trust him.

it's gonna happen.

I'm surprised by the lack of pessimism in this thread for once! I feel like I usually see a bunch of it.

But anyhow, there's four (supposedly) legit sources now saying they've heard something about a 2013 release; Diadhaidh, pixelives, Joyrex, and dealer.

alright mdg, what's the deal

I have precisely 0 insider knowledge but I have a knack for always getting into bands shortly before they release a new album. Don't know how I manage it but a huge percentage of bands that I get seriously into release an album within a year of me discovering them. I discovered and fell in love with BoC's music in June of last year.

I'm not sure I can go that fast to be honest. It took me 21 years to get round to listening to MBV.

In other news - people - what's all this bullshit about Joyrex and April Fool's jokes and some pixelwhassisface? Don't make me go looking at WeAreABunchOfWankers, please. The detox shower I have to take afterwards is no fun. It's takes ages to wash the CilitBang off...

double-post! Arggh!
Wait......what?

as far as i understand 'pixelives' leaked info on exai back before it was officially announced, and they are now saying word has it new boc 'soon'

Must. See. Album artwork.

Even with the insider info though, I'm still waiting for a real announcement. I've been expecting it every summer (June 9th particularly) for too many summers now to keep building it up. Still totally fucking psyched up like I've never been for a new album. And my god how good a double LP would be...

Let the hype continue.

This is all the proof I need.

what was interesting was that they heard boc has done a return to geogaddi mode, its even scary.

even more interesting is that Pixelives posts mentioning this and the 'June' date have now been... removed!

mad.

Well. This is all getting a bit crazy isn't it.

In the meantime, something scary

Ah man no way!? I was looking for his posts and couldn't find them! This is very interesting indeed!

yep, i just went over there an hour ago to re-read the geogaddi reference and nothing. you can see where later posters refer to his posts but they've vanished. he has left just one post on that thread. either he's been slapped by the powers above him or he did it himself. i'll go with the former cos one can't delete their own posts over there afaik just edit for a short time.

can't really remember the lines of it but something about his insider friend saying its more along the lines of geogaddi than their last or mhtrtc. if true i'd imagine its going to be far out there, very experimental but not sounding like geogaddi just out there haha. i can't feckin wait. a double whammy of that would be sweet.
