No more speculation in the speculation thread!
New release speculation, not speculation about random posts on social media that could literally be the work of anyone.
I'm not saying it should be banned, silenced or censored at all, just expressing my opinion that I'm not a big fan. Others are, such is life. No Biggie.

Telephastic Workshop, specifically this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orG5TIOU8Ts
Don't know why, but I have a good feeling about the IG page being theirs, and this will be the next post. Soon...ish.

Perhaps this is the great BOC enigma post TH and they catered it exactly to the social media age

Why wouldn’t BoC be running their own account?
I've seen a few people saying "oh, it couldn't possibly be them" but to me that just sounds like part of the tendency to over-mystify them. They’re not total luddites or anything, and it's not like they're such big celebrities they can't be bothered with social media. They're not hugely social but we have no reason to believe they despise their fans so much they can't spend a couple of minutes a day liking posts.
To me their account activity seems very much in the band's communication style- vague hints, nothing more. And the allegation that there's someone at Warp HQ running their social media account sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Speculating, if so, It would maybe be a cool idea to use this video for the 5th IG video since it has space imagery, it’s the only official video - but manipulate it to hide something new embedded in it to hint towards a 5th album.
https://youtu.be/A2zKARkpDW4
I personally find it a bit hard to see BoC going full on “space” theme - since many of the themes of their work is grounded in some way back to earth, nature, environment, place, people, life, living and the like.
Also the “space” album concept is a bit trite nowadays in my opinion.

In response to this, (and I agree with you); these official pages have been picked up in reaction to a series of bogus pages lately, where people have squatted on the band's name. The guys have very little interest in using sites like these, but they will be used by music70/warp for news announcements etc when needed.

Why would they manage their own account when their record label and friends at Hexagon Sun could do it all for them? You're right, they're not luddites at all, but they're known to dislike both social media and doing promotional work.viewtopic.php?p=67197#p67197mdg wrote:to clear this up: the myspace page was taken over by warp some time ago, and is now maintained by both warp staff and a couple of friends of the band, on a 'when time permits' basis. the 'you and i' player on the page is apparently only visible to US users, and was added by myspace themselves. they've been contacted a few times with requests to remove the 'you and i' thing but they've ignored the requests.viewtopic.php?p=110167#p110167mdg wrote:Numerator wrote:twitter? perhaps they're going to tell us whether they've just had a shit or what they had for breakfast...

Not sure how you’re getting this from what MDG said: that social media will be used for announcements.
