GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

[Turbo Moe]

I think they had the album ready a couple of years ago but after the rise of generative AI they decided to rework it .

Cannot agree more with this. They are neurotic perfectionists and the introduction of AI into music has really messed with their minds. Hopefully they can get back on track soon

[dana]

I know its a speculation thread, i would veer more towards them being inspired by the concept of AI as a theme rather than using it or with it messing with their minds.

[llydia]

There really isn’t anything new coming from them. This board is just for hangers on. People who are now lost because their cult leader has abandoned them. Now you’re all looking for signs and symbols like there’s going to be some new treasure hunt.

There will be nothing… just dust and tumble weed, until this forum disappears too.

I give Warp until the end of the year until they cease to exist as a label. Everyone knows it’s over. All things must end.

I agree HarryNutsack. Warp, more like , Corp. Down with it all I say, let it burn! The devil likes fire.

Yes. And I think this is what changes they are making now to the album. To make it more simple, yet elegant. It will be more beautiful than ever

[HarryNutsack]

Shut up you total knobhead

This is a speculation thread. I am sure I have the right to speculate that there is no new album without the need for common insults that are unfounded.

I’m sorry if this upsets you and that you feel lost in life without your leader giving you some new likkle BoC tunes that are maybe about space themes this time.

[Frindia]

I made a really insightful post but I got logged out a the text disappeared. I wasn’t about the antichrist though.

space themes this time

Limmy? Yeah that pretty much sums up tomorrows harvest. Hit it right on the nail there.

[Negamuse]

Warp falling over wouldn't delay a potential BoC release, they're quite capable of delaying it on their own

But also I don't think Warp are in danger of going bust, however much better they were in the old days.

Show the figures for 1999

[Burning Shadow]

I’m not expecting Warp to fold but they are a business, so it wouldn’t make any sense whatsoever to have a box set and a new album ready to release soon and not have cashed in sooner by releasing the old material at some point in the past few years.

And if there is still a box set planned it would be likely Warp would want to leave it a couple of years after the new album in order to maximise profits

I mean come on. Its 2025 nobody makes money in music anymore. Also, their new line up is also atrocious. I can't imagine anybody really buying this music. Everyone is just waiting for the OG's to drop albums (which as observed here, they rarely do). I'd wager that profit is 98% Aphex Twin, 1% Boards Of Canada. Probably getting paid each time a god damn Aphex Twin track has been used in an instagram reel. Boards Of Canada included.

The facts are there in black and white, they are making more money every year.

Well of course! There's a new Instagram reel made everyday. Still, doesn't say much about their cultural output. I'd say they have been losing in that department each year,

Stereolab, Broadcast posthumous albums, Kelela, Thom Yorke, OPN, Danny Brown, Nala Sinephro, Autechre live shows, HudMo on Brat (the biggest cultural phenomenon of 2024)

I don't see your point

All people who have already been well established, and we know, and love. I'm talking about that new stuff. That new sound? Wheres that, wheres the cool gone? Give the kids a chance. But anyway, this is getting off topic. I'm sure the new boards of canada stuff will reset the taste.
