Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)

it's a bit more generic idm than their old records but given how little people take the form seriously anymore it's still quite welcome to me

better rip

Not gonna pre-judge the whole album from this but I'm not exactly super hopeful it's going to be more interesting than the campfire headphase was.

liking what i'm hearing.

pretty ambiv on this track just put on soundcloud, too portentious for me

Reach For The Stars! Follow your hearts desire! do do do do! (damn you, r|t|c)

Unambivalent about spelling: portentous. And while I'm at it: "pretty ambiv???"

snappy pants morelike

not getting the lukewarm reaction - this is ace. I'm guessing Gemini could be a short Ready Let's Go type interlude cuz this feels like a proper opener

Same feeling that Bjork gives me. I like it but I loved it when they were fun instead of artsy.

Sorry about that flappypants this sometimes happens when I post from my phone

you don't need to apologize for that

srsly whatev, if that kind of stuff puts a flap in your pants then idkwaoucpdaijcm

xxp This is "artsy" BOC?

i like it!

Well, not precisely artsy but they're not fun anymore. They've slowly transformed into this cryptic, somber, hauntologic act when there used to be a very playful and naive quality to their sound.

This is all scary drones and harsh beats.

Then again, I'm judging a whole album from the snippets and this song. The whole album might actually be awesome so I'll reserve my opinion.

They've slowly transformed into this cryptic, somber, hauntologic act when there used to be a very playful and naive quality to their sound.

they've always had elements of that in their sound, from day 1! i agree that they used to feature more of the playful stuff, but it hasn't been totally excised from their releases.

i like.

Damn, it's good.

yeah! i pre-ordered already (from boomkat, so i'm not getting all these cool things that bleep.com is apparently sending out) and can't wait to hear the rest.

reach for the dead has a major Tangerine Dream vibe going on

"They've slowly transformed into this cryptic, somber, hauntologic act when there used to be a very playful and naive quality to their sound."

I guess you've never heard Geogaddi!?!?

Sure, there's a dark undercurrent at work, there always was. But overall, this track is warm and beautiful in a way that few are capable of...

Quietus track-by-track http://thequietus.com/articles/12364-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest-review
sounds from the description like the album i was hoping they'd make.

All I wrote for this one was: "Drone. Heavy. Aeroplane over my house." And I'm afraid I can't really remember what it sounded like

Worth publishing.

This is like a souped-up 'Telephasic Workshop'

quit building my hopes up again

haha what

Someone just tipped me to that site this morning. It's pretty uniformly funny.

starts off like a late baroque pole track, mutates into watery emeralds-isms in the 2nd (inferior) half

quite like the drones at the very end

this is good

it does seem slightly generic but it's still 100x better executed than something like emeralds

( ^ this is just them laughing at their fans I hope)

"i'm not getting all these cool things that bleep.com is apparently sending out"

have i missed a reason to pre-order from warp rather than just nipping to the record shop?

no, it's just an mp3 of "Reach for the Dead" afaik

User hellinterface has posted this comment on YouTube under the official video - (Hell Interface was one of their early band names, apparently?) and this is being interpreted as another official hint at something or other. Maybe another new clue to be posted at that time, maybe a video projection somewhere, maybe official downloads at bleep.com, nobody knows at the moment.

"May 27th - 17:00 PDT"

meanwhile...

Yermo!

I have nothing to do tomorrow and driving out to Yermo isn't a big deal for me (I know exactly where this is), but am I going to be One Of Those Idiots Who Fall for this sort of marketing?

DO IT

Weirdly enough, my blog post about the abandoned water park that's there (you can see the lake in the satellite photo) is the most popular post on my blog. Think I should do this...

I think you should :-)

It'll probably be either
- another public projection of the reach for the dead video (not very likely imo)
- a new track or video (most likely this one http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10663 )
- a listening party for the whole album (also possible, wouldn't be the first time they have one)
- meet and greet with the bros, let them sign your ass cheek etc (unlikely)

That's pretty good. Seems like a lot of people got bored after about two minutes though

That was played just after a set, they didn't know what it was I guess

Right after Audion (Matthew Dear) finished his set, apparently.

Nice. I like "Reach for the Dead" ok, but that one from Detroit is excellent.
