Whatever happened to Boards of Canada?
 

Aren't we well overdue hearing something new from them, eg. a new album? It's been over 3 years, and theres nothing out there suggesting pending releases. Anyone heard anything about where they've been all this time?

Each drum hit or synth note they program takes them 5 and a half weeks, so......

They've always taken time between releases, there was four years between Music Has The Right... and Geogaddi, and then three between Geogaddi and The Campfire Headphase.
But yeah I would totally like to hear something new from them, Campfire Headphase was really good, all their albums are great to my mind. Let's hope together for a 2009 release

oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo




























*circle jerk*
(again)

And you call me perv!

This is a normal waiting time for BoC releases. There was four years between MHTRTC and Geogaddi, and 11 years between the time they formed and their first proper album.

Aphex Twin has been holding out on us for nearly the same amount of time. In fact, given that Chosen Lords was a "best of" of the Analord series, it's been 7 years since his last "proper" album.

Everyone is board of them.

zing

They're both brothers aren't they? They were probably making music together before they learnt to ride bikes without stablilizers.

Album later this year, apparently.

man, ou beat me to the zing

Sources?

Buzz on WATMM.

new album out soon..

i really hope its at least 10 times better than the campfire headphase...that was poor as milky tea.

I quite like the last album

yeah, i enjoyed the campfire headphase, though it's obviously not as good as geogaddi or music

geogaddi > music > tch

Is there a band called Beards Of Canada yet? There should be.

i really really hope there'll be a new album out this year. 2009 is already a fantastic year, and this would be fantastic as well.
btw, Aphex Twin could release one too, innit? Seeing how he's playing gigs lately...

Fleet Foxes wanted to be called that but then they realized they were from Seattle

What is up with the campfire headphase hate? I think it's up to their usual standards.

i just think its ploddingly alongingly bland.....

i agree with pauly...its not as engaging to me as the others...but its nice enough to fall asleep to

New album might be finally on the way.

I've never been blown away by them either, but I like all their albums. I'd download and enjoy a new record, but they'll never be one of my favorite bands.

I feel like they used to be, though. Like I used to be, like, totally wowed by them. I was probably just getting some really good ecstasy at the time.

I like most of theirs very much, in particular Music has the right to children & the Hi Scores EP.

Ah yes. The "wow I can feel the music! " years. I remember them well. Unfortunately boards are not as exciting now that I've removed hallucinogens from my diet.

Campfire... of great background music and surely one of the keenest electronic records of its era, but I'm not actively awaiting new material. If it comes ill listen.
