Just because MDG indicated that they were working on a new album does not mean they intend on releasing it. Everyone’s assumed (naturally) that once completed the album would be set for a release schedule. I’m not so sure that’s the case.
They’ve indicated that their interest in producing music is something they do for themselves, and close friends and family- even stating that the intention with their back catalog is to pass it down to their children. They’ve also grown increasingly more antisocial over the years and expressed disdain in their high profile status.
It’s a very real possibility their music making journey has evolved into something that is exclusively personal and intimate for them, with no intention to publish new material ever again. Working on a new album? Sure- but correct me if I’m wrong, MDG never said anything about PUBLISHING a new album. Thoughts?
Thoughts? I'm sorry but that makes zero sense. If there were no intentions of releasing an album to the public, MDG wouldn't be so cruel in doing the effort to reply to a fan of this very forum and tell him a new album is on its way. Of course he meant on its way to us.
And please don't forget BoC themselves posted, a year later, on Threads: "Follow here for news and future announcements."
Clearly the two combined are more than enough reassurance. We just need to wait. Remember we also had to wait several years in between confirmation of a new album and the release of TH. It's no different now.
