Sounds a little like part of Com Truise's "I Dream (for you)" but honestly when I hear the AS bit my mind immediately goes to "Jacquard Causeway." It's just unmistakably BoC to me. So imo either it's them or someone doing a bang-on impression :D

I agree, the track sounds analogous to TH’s.

It’s funny, I don’t think it sounds anything like Com Truise. Maybe wishful on my part.

interesting that Sundown was chosen, considering that's the song in the discussion thread on the reddit right now...

I don't know. I think it's way darker and with more finely aged analog warmth than anything I've heard from Com Truise.

It does sound a lot like Boards to me - and I'm very reluctant to say that about any unidentified music.

My thoughts exactly. Probably the closest BoC copy imo, though the length of the clip could definitely make it much easier to be fooled by.

Sounds more like Lorn than BoC or Com Truise.

could be. not much to judge by. personally i don't think it sounds like Com Truise at all though.

i'm not familiar with Lorn but it does sound like they linger in similar sonic territory

Well, the Stereolab album came out today, so that opens the release window til May so perhaps we might be in luck soon :)

Be kind of cool if BOC gave a short snippet to adult swim to post that cryptic teaser last year.

It superficially sounds like Lorn’s Acid Rain, but that’s it.

I don't think it sounds like BoC at all and they wouldnt tease something like that on adult swim alone either, it'd come from warprecords or boctransmission, its just adult swim posting a lil something like they always have done

Dark, droning analog synths don't sound like BoC "at all?"

Lol

It does sound like BoC if you listen to Tomorrow’s Harvest in a vacuum. And AS and BoC do have a history together.

The first frickin note is pure BoC dude. I'm convinced it's them. I could be wrong and it could be a copycat, but it is 100% in their wheeltower - I mean wheelhouse :wink:

I mean they didnt invent those, it can be something they also used but when I listen to this particular song it doesnt make me think its them, meanwhile when I listen to BoC I can totally feel its their style, I don't know how to explain it but there's something about it that is recognizable to me and no one can 100% imitate, atleast for me thats something I feel whenever I listen to something that is a tribute to BoC or is inspired by them, I'll be able to see what they are going for but I'd never mistake it for an actual BoC track. This is just me but I feel that others say that something sounds like BoC too easily, not saying that y'all should stop or anything, I'm just saying that for me alone you'll rarely see me saying that something sounds like BoC.

There's only one time that made me wonder: the short videos of old tunes destroyed filmed @ u-ziq's house, in those clips you can hear short snippets of a melody that instantly made me think it could be unreleased old tunes from the bros.

Basically I'm just saying that to my ears or in my opinion it doesnt ring any bells, I'm not saying that I have the undeniable truth or that I can't possibly be wrong, just wanted to clarify that just in case... I could be wrong and even then I'd still say "oh this tune doesnt sound like their usual stuff to me" which has happened to me with other artists in the past when they release a new album.

By the way this is the video I was talking about, does anyone else feel the same? I went 'holy shit' the moment I heard it, made me think it sounds like R35TT or from the MHTRTC era.

Actually I thought that background music sounded like a Mike Paradinas / u-ziq track. Not sure but obviously it's not on OT 1 or 2.

If its from another artist or anyone has an ID I wanna know asap because I really want to listen to the rest of it. Also one of the reasons that got me thinking it could be unreleased tunes is because Lara did mention in the watmm thread back then "Mike does have other unreleased stuff but he wont sell those because they havent been out there in the public domain" so having that in mind it further fueled my idea of it being an unreleased track.

I simply think it's weird how the "snow moon" thing that guy on reddit predicted coincides with the snow moon adult swim image and that coincides with the sundown video.

Very weird coincidence most likely. Probably nothing. We'll see tomorrow, but my bets are on weird coincidence.

Yeah, I definitely agree there's a sort of "secret sauce" that's hard to imitate, and like I said, I'm generally very reluctant to say something sounds like BoC. But I think this clip did. That certainly doesn't mean it is them, but unlike 99.9% of the other assorted random electronica projects people attribute to BoC for some reason, I think it actually sounds strikingly like some of the drones on Tomorrow's Harvest.
