Boards of Canada Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

[cyanobacteria 1341]

 

Here's an amusing concept -

I've lurked on WATMM for at least a decade and this community is still as great as it ever was; arguably due to this community being fairly small. Much electronic mainstream music in 2013 is clearly very influenced by the artists we have long loved.

BoC haven't been in the limelight for 8 years. Their music is very accessible compared to the likes of Autechre et al. Warp aren't some obscure record label anymore, particularly given their diverse artist lineup now. And they're definitely not fucking about with marketing for this album.

It's entirely possible that this album, if it is as brilliant as we're all hoping, gets more mainstream attention than any previous album.

This means more hipster BoC fans, and WATMM is the first place an onslaught would flock to...

OH NOES

 

 

GOD NO. Please pasta no more goddamn Feminists. Hipsters are all goddamn Feminists.

lol oh no what if our favourite music gets popular omg

[xfxf 1]

I WILL HAVE TO FIND NEW MORE OBSCURE MUSIC TO LIKE INSTEAD

[Friendly Foil 4]

If BOC becomes more popular I'll stop listening to them. My taste in music is the only unique thing about me, and if the masses take that away, I might as well go and jump off a bridge.

i'm old, have kids, a limited social life and a music taste stuck firmly in the past. it's probs more like "get off my damn lawn you kids"

[goDel 1223]

The watmm fanboyism will never be mainstream, because fanboyism is not mainstream, apart from the fanboyism executed by girls ranging from 8 to 15. By exception, their fanboyism is mainstream.

Yeah go BoC drop them lush synths ahh yes.

lol: I was told the guy who went to the Tomorrow's Harvest listening party instead of my guy didn't like the album at all.

This is the same person who LOVED the new Daft Punk.

I'm quite sure my friend wasn't lying to me, and I certainly wasn't making this whole story up. However, the word "listening party" is what I called this thing I was told about - I'm sure about this: It was a press promo event that took place at Cologne some days ago and that involved journalists listening to the album. For me that was a "listening party" but it was probably less of a party and more of a work-thing.

 

Track-by-tracks reviews have already been published, where would the authors have heard the album if no promos were sent out ... ?

 

So after what you posted, I assume there will be listening parties of some other sort before the release... neat.

In a Warp office, as was stated in one of those articles you are talking about

[Terpentintollwut 0]

Oh, I never read them because I didn't want to go into the album with other people's opinions in mind!

 

So is there a Warp office or something similar in Cologne? Something went down there, for all I know.

I'll link you the article once it's released - until then, I shall be regarded as a coldblooded liar!

 

(This is how TitsAndAcid must have felt...yeah I didn't believe him either)

everyone is saying that TCH had one pre-release track, OSTRE, but actually I remember Satellite Anthem Icarus was also released early...was played on the radio or something. I had both tracks saved to my hd well before release. I would expect at least one more track to surface before the launch date.

 

this is what i thought too, and dayvan cowboy right?

The place in the image is apparently a place called Dolores Lake, in the Mojave desert.

Abandoned waterpark. Would make a nice venue.

 

Also, and Adult Swim shoutout?

dayvan cowboy was the single (with both the video and ep appearance on Trans Canada EP), but I don't remember it coming out early. The timeline as I remember it was:

 

OSTRE and SAI played/leaked in the days leading up to TCH --> TCH ---> Dayvan Cowboy video with Kittinger footage --> Trans Canada Hwy EP

 

there was also the music video with the porn footage at the end, I forget when that came out...was it after the TCH EP, or before? Mind not working so good these days...

[747Music 6]

That was the invocation video and it was release prior to Trans Canada Hwy.
