I wouldn’t be so sure… the TH ARG was very methodically put together. Everything led to everywhere. I refuse to believe that I OVERFLOW MAN solely planted as an anagram. Either they ran out of budget to do anything with it or we haven’t figured out its purpose.

"The owls are not what they seem"

A little while back I tried to make a few connections between Tomorrows Harvest and the UFO phenomenon. I forgot about this one.

I think it has something to do with the theme of the album,

I suggest we don’t neglect their SxT project. There’s 6 years and 13 days between TH and SxT. What if there’s a similar gap between SxT and LP5? That would leave us with a July 2025 release.


Wow. It's crazy how the gap between TH and SxT felt enormous compared to SxT and the present day, at least in my mind. Time is ruthless.

I agree, if you look at the last release as being Societas X Tape we haven’t really been waiting too long

My tinfoil hat theory is that Warp or Hexagon Sun had a quiet word with the mods asking for a new uncluttered thread in preparation for an immanent announcement

Yeah stil 6 more months to equal the gap between TH and SxT. We're doing fine. :) And indeed not considering SxT their last worthy project would be doing injustice.

It’s taking so long because the last album will coincide with a small continental tour. Red Rocks, a bag of mushrooms, and my life will be complete.

What do you think we are closer to— new music, or old previously lost music?

To me the fact that it's only on the CD has to mean something. Maybe a hidden track? I remember some CDs back in the day in which you would press play and then press the reverse button (to skip backwards) and go beyond the 00:00 of the first track to reveal a hidden track. Or maybe reading the CD on a PC to see if it was something other than the audio tracks. There are several methods to hide stuff on music CDs. I only have the vinyl though so I can't test it.

I've always found it VERY suspicious that it's only printed on the CD... My CD version of TH is in a different place, I'll get it tomorrow and try to examine it (although I'm no data expert...)

In the cosecha transmisiones website there might have been more hidden messages than just the cosecha signal one, etc., a clue we might have missed and it is now too late to discover.

I always thought the "I OVERFLOW MAN" thing was explained and done.

It's just a head-nod that yes, newcleardawn.com is a website of theirs, and that TH is the album that came from the NCD theme. It's right there on the TH cover art.

Considering it was a PR company behind all that, and not the band directly, that company might respond to questions now if there was anything else hidden on that website. I think they were identified at some point?

I honestly can't imagine they would print that on the CD just to explain part of the ARG, I mean was it even part of it? They aren't known to explain anything ever.. Also how is the global surveillance theme explained on the TH cover?

I'm thinking more along the "Nuclear Dawn" theme.

I think 2025 is going to be a year we revisit many old friends! GTA VI is confirmed and Half-Life 3 is a likely release (HLX leaks and G-Man's VA, Michael Shapiro, posted a cryptic teaser-esque video on Twitter!) I have a gut feeling we'll see a new LP from Aphex Twin, since Warp is clearly investing time and money into Richard's old music, maybe to gauge interest, maybe to get fresh eyes on him. I don't think Warp will bother with hinting anything BoC related until album rollout is underway. Besides, Warp doesn't need to do much in terms of traditional hype generation. We've gone mad waiting for the floodgates to be opened, we are hyped enough, we generate the hype as a byproduct! Mike and Marcus also do like to make statements with their music, and with 2025 looking to have some pretty historical events on the schedule? It's gonna be the year of LP5, or at the very least I hope it is!

I quite like the idea of a deliberate rabbit hole with a dead end. Searching for one thing and coming across something sinister we weren't supposed to see, Except we were.

Maybe someone already asked this and I missed it: has an enabled person ever examined BoC’s recent video posts (Dayvan Cowboy - upscaled and Gyroscope) for possible anomalies (in the sense of hidden messages like in the TH release promo game)?
