Whatever happened to Boards of Canada?

This Is Not Here · 09.16.2008, 03:24 PM

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?

noisereductions · 09.16.2008, 03:27 PM

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

SYRFox · 09.16.2008, 03:27 PM

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

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.

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

ZEROpumpkins · 04.19.2009, 10:27 PM

Album later this year, apparently.

Buzz on WATMM.

PAULYBEE2656 · 04.20.2009, 05:54 AM

new album out soon..

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

jimbrim · 04.20.2009, 03:21 PM

I quite like the last album

SYRFox · 04.20.2009, 03:25 PM

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

geogaddi > music > tch

Danny Himself · 04.20.2009, 03:25 PM

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

SYRFox · 04.20.2009, 03:26 PM

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.
