Will BOC Release A New Album?

You guys haven't heard the news yet?

I do think it’s funny how twoism thinks Joyrex is a snake oil salesman or some kind of conman with tricks up his sleeve and a forked tongue. I’d enjoy that if that was me, being able to upset all of them. Most delightful 

can anyone update me on what twoism is saying? their site is tough to navigate tbh...

21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.... 21 hours in... Was it not announced last night?

That messageboard... Twoism fanbois are the IDM-equivalent if Q-anon followers.

to summarise:

the hell interface youtube banner was updated a few months back to an image of the pioneer plaque with a turquoise hexagon, so obviously it's been twoism'd to death. i think today marks the 18th anniversary of the last time pioneer 10's signal was received, so they're all convinced we're getting a new album within the next few hours lol

To be fair it’s like 2 people driving the conversation. But yea I’d say the current “prediction” is a long shot to say the least.

Yeah probs Mike and Marcus's kids. Or ‘The Brothers’ drinking pals. What a hoot!

Has it leaked yet ?

If you remember TH had a pretty well thought out marketing campaign before the release. I seriously doubt that Warp would let them simply release an album. If we get a new BOC album, it will be slowly hyped up over 3 or so months I think.

That was an absolute frenzy and I still have mixed feelings about it. I wouldn't mind a simple "here is an album right now" release for the next one

if there is a next one

That record somebody found in a shop!

Hahah, brilliant.

Obviously cannot go down that route this time, none of the shops are open....

All because of my April Fool's Day joke ten+ years ago - funny how they seem to hold a grudge...

This. Anything BOC does is going to have massive promotion behind it. You will NOT see a surprise release from them (at least if it is released on WARP).

Now, something self-released (that doesn't constitute anything in their contractual obligations with WARP), that's another story...

...

Patience is a virtue.

edit:

Did you guys know that the Op-z by Teenage Engineering has the plaque image hidden under it's battery? Pretty cool cocidence considering everything that's going on..

I am color blind but the Op-z looks similarly colored to turquoise, or cyan (to my eyes)...

I swear I'm just as clueless if not more clueless as to what these things mean, maybe its just false pattern recognition.. But it sure as hell is fun!

fuck i think i got covid at the redmoon party

I had a dream last night where mysterious figures were sneaking into bedrooms at night and leaving 4-track cassettes of new BoC material. It was a very telephasic experience and indeed evidence of imminent new BoC material.

I do not think there will ever be another. Just don't see it happening. Just don't think making albums/music is something they get excited about, just my thought/opinion but after 7-8 years, I just have no anticipation anymore. The time between 96-06 they did a lot but now doing 1 a decade, I just don't think they care. Do they owe WARP 1 more via the contract or something? Hope I'm wrong but if by end of this year still no news, then I'd say that's that..

I thought it was just quality selection and much refining.  Rather than churning out every piece of dross they make [nor retiring].  ... I wont point any fingers for who does such churn, lest peeps mistake prolific artists as churning out all/any passable dross.

Does feel weird that the largest portion of soffmi muhod's releases only came since boc's last though.  Even had notions of removing everything from bandcamp, replacing it with what would effectively be a best-of from all the releases. ( ... Nohhhh... shant betray the concepts, certainly not just to fantastically hang on boc's coat-tails.  soffmi's a child [of music], not a clone [of boc]. )

... Maybe there's a causal relationship... soffmi muhod stops... boc release will come.  Okay.  The strained jymg kega is the last.  Until boc release again.    That'll help share the apparently limited new-releases energy from this part of the world.  And If boc do release, I'll cite this as the reason why.  lol.

They re way too good to stop !! 

mental health issues prevents at least half of boc from living a normal life let alone release an album

That's not really something you should be saying, especially since you have zero insight into their lives...

every time I see this thread I hear "does a bear shit in the woods?" in my head
