GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[fefor]

Did they ever figure out what that was all about?

It was a promotion for something on Netflix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-pKKM6CXr0

I think that if BoC were to drop some object or something IRL for people to find they would atleast include a logo or a turquoise hexagon or something for the fans to immediately identify as them, like when they dropped the records in 2013 they had "BOARDS OF CANADA" printed on them. For Geogaddi and TCH it was the same if I recall correctly, they always confirm from the start that its related to them.

[NTFMTS]

I don't see any reason for them to have to do anything that we expect, or that they've done before

[fefor]

Right, but don't you think that doing something so vague like that wouldn't work?

[NTFMTS]

Ohh actually my bad I misread your post, I didn't realize you referring to a physical object or something similar, I thought you just meant if the dropped any hint online or something. Yeah if it was a vinyl or some akin, I think they'd have their watermark on it in some way. Sry I'm a dingus

But in terms of online stuff, I'm still convinced that adult swim instagram post was BoC, so I could see them dropping other sounds or material that hints towards something without giving any full proof

With me, this is 50/50. Either it's BOC (or another artist in their vein) tossing something out to Adult Swim for shits and giggles, or it's simply Adult Swim being wacky/quirky like all their other videos.

The only thing that would lend to it being more important would be the fact that someone on here contacted the guy in charge of AS's output on social media and he did not respond and clarify what it was. Much like Warp when you send them an email

Actually it wasn't. Someone may have jumped on the bandwagon to make a Netflix series capitalizing on the monoliths, but the original creator and purpose of the very first one, the Utah monolith (and many others) is still unknown.

I definitely agree that any promotional campaign for new BOC music will be instantly and obviously identifiable as BOC though. Even with the TH ARG, which lwas full of puzzles, mysteries, etc, the original vinyls were clearly labeled as BOC and confirmed as legit by Warp immediately.

I miss them really bad and am kind of sad we didn't get anything in 2020 when we basically lived through a walking Tomorrow's Harvest.

I miss them too, my friend, but perhaps they were letting the climate of a real TH sink in before their next move.

I feel TH was some kind of Cassandra type album where they didn't know what was going to happen, but they had premonitions of whatever it was. A feeling of malaise on the horizon radar.

I still believe that the "you okay" in Sometimes hints at where they're going next. We might be getting the anti-thesis of TH next, a beautiful, consoling album to help us escape from a real life Tomorrow's Harvest. If it's space themed, it might be as blissful as Brian Eno's Apollo Atmospheres. After all, all of Earth's problems are nonexistent in space...unless we bring them there.

BoC has been too kind to us the last couple years, they've been giving us a lot more smoke signals and signs of life then they were back in the waiting period from 2005-2012. They'll definitely give us a warm hug next, they just needed to vent some of their frustrations with Tomorrow's Harvest.

Also I just noticed that the abbreviation for The Campfire Headphase is TCH, and the abbreviation for Tomorrow's Harvest is TH. Could the next album's title just be one word abbreviated as "T" or "H"??? I'm bullshitting ofc, but it popped into my head today and I couldn't resist the urge to share my stupid thought.

The Campfire Headphase and Trans Canada Highway can both be abbreviated as TCH

You solved the mystery! New album's gonna be called "The "

[Moloch]

What if the new BOC record is actually a Blue Oyster Cult album

[Kure]

I can't really confirm this myself, but BoC and Aphex Twin music are supposedly being used in the upcoming Ubisoft game Riders Republic. A friend who is in the ongoing closed beta of the game says that they are using Aphex and BoC tracks in the actual game as a part of the soundtrack - Dayvan Cowboy is the only he could confirm so far.

It's most likely not related to new music and alike at all, but I still think it's kinda cool that BoC is finally being used in video games after all these years and especially by such a big company as Ubisoft.

The 'chre boys were already credited in Metroid Prime back in 2003

BOC are definitely gamers. It's been mentioned in interviews and even in some Old Tunes tracks likes Iran says. I have a feeling they will be happy to oblige in this soundtrack.

While it's not new music, it's still some news from the BOC front. Though here's hoping that isn't the only news this year!

Aphex Twin's music has been used in videogames in the past, I think this version of this track is exclusive to the soundtrack of the game:

Fenix Funk 5 from the Analord series also appears in another Wipeout game:

He also appeared in GTA IV and V radio stations.

Did you try walking through any of the tunnels? The solution could've been right there!

[NTFMTS]

I was afraid I would never make it out to the other side if I tried

Maybe they have reached the licensing part of their careers. You know. The point in your career where things like Blister in the Sun end up in a Shrek movie. There is a commercial on television I keep hearing recently that has a very Tomorrow's Harvest sound. It is also reminiscent of the recent Adult Swim bumper. Who knows? Maybe they've decided to make some quick money between albums.
