In case you haven’t been in the loop for the last few days it seems that Boards of Canada are finally coming out of hibernation with what appears to be a set of coded records placed anonymously in record stores around the world. Two have been found in New York and London with 20 second pieces of music and a code number that seems to be part of something bigger. Another code cropped up in a YouTube video on the Hell Interface channel (old BOC alias) and another was played on Zane Lowe‘s radio show. Naturally BOC fans being what they are, theories have gone off the scale online and the updates seem to be coming daily at the moment. Keep an eye on the 2020k site for the latest updates, the best of which is that a close friend of the band has confirmed an album release for June this year – great news!
I guess the wait it over now. I have been a fan since the first record and its nice to see them giving the fans the mysticism they crave for. Me, I can happily wait for the record.
