A thread where there's no news about BOC that's for sure.
That said, the new OPN and Bibio were pretty stellar and I'd recommend hearing them if you haven't already. They've helped fill the void a bit for me. Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Lopatin have similar mindsets about nostalgia and electronics as BOC. Bibio, as we know, has been endorsed publicly by Marcus and while I don't know how they feel about OPN, I feel they must have some respect for his loony approach to nostalgia music.
Other artists who BOC like who are releasing or have released stuff are:
Steven Wilson: Harmony Codex (BOC Twitter liked his release for The Future Bites.)
Sufjan Stevens: Javelin (this one is heartbreakingly good. Sufjan has an amazing track record)
Peter Gabriel: I/O (Marcus followed him on IG and Twitter which is amazing because I'm a long time fan. Pete's released 10 out of 12 songs and they are some of his best in a long time)
Meat Beat Manifesto also released an EP early this year. I own it. Pretty rad acidy stuff.
This has actually been a pretty active year for BOC related or endorsed artists. So I'm sure they have a lot of vinyl they've picked up recently while they work on their own release.
