A Potential Return to Form
It appears that the elusive electronic pioneers Boards Of Canada may be preparing for a significant return. Over the past 24 hours, members of the dedicated fan community on the Twoism forum and Reddit have reported receiving unexpected packages in the mail: mysterious VHS tapes emblazoned with the group’s signature hexagon logo. The emergence of these physical artifacts has sent ripples of excitement through the electronic music world, as fans scramble to decipher their meaning.
The tapes have already been cataloged on Discogs, where they are officially attributed to Warp, the band’s longtime label home. This connection to their primary label adds a layer of legitimacy to the discovery, suggesting that this is not merely a fan-made hoax but a coordinated promotional effort.
Analyzing the Content
For those unable to play the physical media, the audio has been ripped and shared widely online. According to these recordings, the tapes do not contain new musical compositions. Instead, they feature approximately one minute of fragmented, distorted monologuing. The accompanying visual content is similarly abstract and intentionally vague, leaving much to interpretation.
While the band has not issued an official statement confirming a new project, the timing is notable. If this campaign is indeed a precursor to a new release, it would mark the first studio album from Boards Of Canada in over a decade, following their critically acclaimed 2013 effort, Tomorrow’s Harvest.
