GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

[IronMark]

I just wonder if something has been planned for a while and the Pioneer plaque from a few years ago and the recent website update are quick ways to test fan engagement and how quickly we'll notice things.

[Davism]

It has to be coming soon.

Apols if this has already been said, but out of curiosity I checked the dates of the security certificate for https://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ and they are…

Valid From: 20-Mar-2025 04:59:17 +0000
Valid To: 18-Jun-2025 05:57:41 +0000

So, does 18 June 2025 mean anything? That’s quite a short lifespan for a certificate. Usually they last a year or two.

The website is powered by Cloudflare and they work with Google Trust Services.
Google issued the certificate.

Supports validity periods of 14, 30, and 90 days.
DCV tokens are valid for 14 days.

That makes sense, but I can't help but feel that date is suspiciously close to the Barbican event.

No shade truly but twoism losing its collective mind over what "nobody home..." could mean beyond the obvious reading is the chuckle I needed this morning.

I feel the same way. The message could easily be perceived as nothing is coming.

The message could easily be perceived as nothing is coming.

Only if people choose to ignore all previous hints of new music, then yes. The context of the bigger picture is important.

Warp just posted this random account with less than 150 followers, making these random metal coins and placing them various public places. Boc or no? It certainly fits the vibe.

Okay this account is posting about things like the Fenn Treasure hunt. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIeUr7DO1Hu ... 0xZWQ5Z3Vx
Is this something?

pretty sure this is promo stuff for the upcoming mark pritchard & thom yorke collab album they're dropping next week, hence the "mpty" in the #mptyjz hashtag they're using

Ah shit, true. Not sure what the JZ means though.

I’m following along. Their social media likes haven't done anything for me. I see MDG as credible, but… slow. Them saying three years ago that an album is on the way makes me shrug. It would be nice if they had more of a presence here, weird that this was in the DMs.

It shouldn’t be written off so easily that the message “nobody home…” could mean just that.

[Stavorius]

My two cents is that BoC will not be at the Barbican Warp event, but that there is a strong chance there will be a video hint there that kicks this whole thing into another gear, just like with TH.

Glad you follow along. Pity the likes don't do much for you and others. And this on the platform where they are the most active on since quite a while now. Ramping up of video posts since 2024.

Their official account doing the effort to give 36 likes over a span of 6 weeks and 7 unique days isn't something to be neglected. It's 100% public confirmation of things to come. There is simply no reason to believe they would cherry pick "new album?" comments only to troll us.

The next step is basically broadcasting a status update on Instagram with a link where to buy LP5 or more likely a link to the start of a promo campaign.

If MDG had been silent in 2022 it wouldn't have been great either for people. As a matter of fact I don't think MDG can do any good unless he deliberately breaks the Warp NDA. And why weird that it's in the DMs? He obviously knew it wouldn't stay long in the DM and the rest is history... He has been active for quite a while here and it could be he's simply fed up with how sometimes the vibe was towards him or maybe his personal life became much more important. Or both. Message received anyways.

IMO there is a 0% chance that "Nobody Home" implies there won't be new music.
But I'm 99% certain that this is not related to LP5 - that one is still coming, backed by other reasons.

Why are you certain it has nothing to do with LP5?

I agree with Negamuse from the last page from earlier today.
It could be a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that the cosecha transmisiones website will no longer be used, or a placeholder for now.
Honestly I'm now inclined towards the former, as the name cosecha transmisiones in my mind is permanently tied to Tomorrow's Harvest. I don't want them to use an old part of that albums puzzle in a new projects campaign. I think of each Boards of Canada album with an individual identity.
So I don't believe cosecha transmisiones will receive any further updates beyond this one, "nobody home" is cool, cryptic, and dandy (and a good way to leave that site)

Yes but why now? They could have done this 5, 9, 7, 8 years ago.

There's no way any of us mere mortals could find out. To fuck with you? Or time to set the controls for the heart of the Hexagon Sun?

[IronMark]

Is there a chance that the 'nobody home' page wasn't put in place by a human and is something auto-generated?

[dogtemple]

Probably no one home as they’re heading out to tour…

[Berneray]

Amused by the rumo(u)r they're playing at Glastonbury, albeit under a different name. Glasto is 25th to 29th June, so that's a week or two after the Barbican thing. Mini-tour? Naw; that would be off-brand.
