Here's a fun game that makes you realise just how utterly ridiculous this wait for a new album is.
Since the last album was released, I finished university, got my first "real" job, met the girl who would later become my wife, had my wisdom teeth removed, became addicted to opiates, got married, got diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, destroyed my car's bumper three times, nearly cheated on my wife with a girl 10 years younger than me, recorded and released a vinyl record, tried to learn japanese, bought my first house and realised I have a drinking problem.

Blank. After releasing Silhouette Birds, my parents got a crazy divorce, my father went insane practically kicking me out of the house.
Lived with my aunt for a couple of months, lived with my brother for a couple of months, got my first apartment, got diagnosed with a light case of schizophrenia, went totally insane in social isolation and lovelessness, released Infinate Detail, became a bum for a month or 2, moved in with my mother after she landed into ER becouse of a fire (thats a whole nother story), released Growth, I found the love of my life, moved in together, released Killing Your Darlings, got a descent job, got engaged with the love of my life, got a musicians-writers-block, got depressed becouse of it, adjusted my life from depressed-crazy to fun-crazy, Flamingo Pudding was born, neirly broke my back and now I'm rehabilitating at home.
Allot of shit can happen in 3 years.

First girlfriend, first time being drunk, first time doing drugs, first time I smoked (to BoC as well!). What I wanted to do in school/life changed massively too. My dad left the country, played my first festival (alongside Pendulum!), made musak my "thing", won an award for my writing. On my way for getting a job and moving out!
Fuck me that's a lot of stuff... could think of way way more if I tried

Moved to Utah, 'sprained' my wrist snowboarding, changed jobs twice, moved across town, moved to california, moved to yosemite, met my current girlfriend, followed her to kansas (to finish school), moved back to yosemite, changed jobs twice, had my perception of reality rocked too many times to remember, finally lost my first car to a blown transmission, western road trip--all summer, moved back to utah, looked for work for half a year, found work, switched jobs twice, had wrist surgery (was not sprained, but actually broken all those years), and here i am, looking to move again.
when you put it in those terms, it's actually been a looong time, eh?
then again, i wasn't any kind of boards 'fan' when new material was released. all my boc discovery has come after the excitement of even the last ep. kinda looking forward to entering new discussions/threads about future material BEFORE it's all old and tramped over.

i started expanding my musical interests (previously, i listened to eminem and blink-182) by listening to neutral milk hotel and radiohead; saw all my friends move far away; brother came out of the closet, got kicked out of the house, then moved back in; made new friends, started playing piano again, joined a band; went to my first concert; became an atheist; discovered boards of canada; started writing my own music; fell in love; fell out of love; stopped my best friend from killing himself; almost got arrested (many, many times); graduated high school; moved in with my friend and his family; my family moved to florida; my parents got divorced; got kicked out of my band; moved back in with my dad; got a job; got into college. plus a million other things.
i barely remember who i was back then, or what i stood for, or anything. it's like i've lived my entire life since the last boc album. crazy.
