Here's a reddit post detailing what appears to be a vinyl re-release of all of BoC's early albums. There has been some recent activity on the BoC Twitter and Instagram accounts too, which is rare, though I presume it is operated by Warp themselves.
all the post says is "HOLY SHIT", nothing else. Reverse searching the image provides nothing.
Keep in mind, 6/9/20 refers to Sep 6th, 2020 and not June 9th, 2020, as that's how the UK do their dates.

I am highly skeptical of this, but I might as well post it here. The account posting is only months old and only has two posts.

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention on the 0.0001% chance this is real.

archive.org version in case the post is gone:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200816071 ... holy_shit/

post contains a pic showing catalog 3, acid memories, closes vol. 1, play by numbers and hooper bay all as vinyls with the text "vinyl reissue box set, 10+ LPs remastered on 180g vinyl, coming 6/9/20, available everywhere".

6/9/20 happened 2 months ago if you go by the american format, but if you don't, you get september 9th 2020. however i slightly doubt this due to references to June 9th and such by BoC but they could just have needed to pick another date. i wanna hear your guys' thoughts.

0.0001% is very generous

Merged these two threads.

How convenient that the image for this "updated re-release" is still using the same squashed 200x200 jpegs from the almost 20-year-old website for the album art, except of course for Play By Numbers which is using that same hi-res scan of unknown origin that's been floating around for years (same creases and everything).

Sorry to say, but I think this is utter malarkey lmao

I can confirm that this is fake. I made it as a joke in another thread.

Jesus Christ everything that is posted here as a joke gets reposted on reddit (and then the fb group two weeks later) and then ends up back here.. Can we stop doing that please?

It is kinda fun though. But I didn't do it to cause false hope. I did it as a to me obvious joke.

That picture is very fake clearly, but what's real is BoC liking these two tweets recently:

"Dear Boards of Canada: please release some new (or unreleased old) music soon… I’m not sure how much longer human civilization is gonna last. "

"Never have I longed for a

release like during this pandemic.

Any chance, guys?"

well i'm not surprised its a fake, but the recent activity on the BoC Twitter and Instagram is very interesting indeed. Maybe a new album soon? Hopefully... Could be just run by a Warp representative tho.

We don't know, tho there'r people in here who probably know something:
Opothecary,
Hopekeaper,
MDG?

2020 is the year BOC fans were so desperate for anything tangible we pulled multiple hoaxes on ourselves.

This is still my favorite hoax Bungler666. Why? Because I get to show this one around to my friends and say, "Man, imagine this was real? Imagine the listening parties we'd have."

Perhaps you can pitch this advert to Warp, mate

Yeah, even though it's super fake, it feels good to look at.

My feelings exactly. It's literally a BOC placebo haha. Fans can look at it and say "What they would do if they really loved us"

Boc are working on something that's for sure, I dunno when it will be released but just be patient guys. Try to go on with good vibes so

see ya
