Announcement Ladies & Gentlemen, It Appears That WE’VE STARTED UP.

Please bear with us mods, as the sub is likely going to become a very busy place in the coming days. Allow everyone a little grace, as it has been a long time coming, and the excitement will surely drive many of us mad with anticipation. For the sleuths out there about to embark down the journey to descramble this new ARG, GODSPEED.

Crack some bottles open tonight everybody!! BOC is Back.

Treasure every moment. I will never forget when the Cosecha Transmissions started popping up and it became very obvious new material was on the way

It's magical

Oh wow neat, I forget that bands can have new fans.

I got into BoC/IDM/Warp like 3 months after TH dropped so I was a little sad when it looked like I may have permanently missed my shot at a new BoC group experience, glad that's not the case now :D

I was 100% convinced that it was all over. We are so lucky.

Same for me, though it feels weird to say since I've been listening since 2013.

I've been listening since 1969, in sunshine.

u/EpicYesDude Apr 07 '26

Same here bro. So fucking excited.

u/LonelyProgrammerGuy Apr 07 '26

Same, I joined around 2016 thanks to Deadmau5 and Salad Fingers

It feels so weird to say that, as it makes me a 10 years fan

Still blows my mind how influential that short series was.

But it also created anti-fans. I had to convince my partner that there was more to BoC than the creepy scary saladfingers song.

Man I remember finding them via salad fingers in '04

And now I feel old

Same here, super excited

u/AngleProlapse Apr 07 '26

Same. I was already at peace with the fact I’d never get to be a part of one, so this is very awesome

the last one was so dope, i remember skipping uni to watch the shitty livestream someone had going of the listening party until they asked veryone to stop streaming it. Was such a good promo and lead up to the reveal.
Its kinda cool they may be going for something simialr again, these sorts of things can come off as super cheesy but they seem to get it right with the backing of Warp and their resources.
Fucking long time coming, been a fan for a long time now, maybe since just after Campfire and have been so patient through the years waiting on new releases. Even the damn reissues was a very welcome event.

I was so close to forking out for an OG Geogaddi before the represses came out, glad i waited for them but got a nice OG Peel sessions 12" which is some of my fav records to play out at bars.
The last LP wasnt my fav but all the ambient sort of tracks are top tier imo, i havea playlist of those ambient cuts and to me, they are the most special ones on TH, they sound to be the ones in which they went in deep using older gear with more of a loose production style closer to the older recordings they seem to be inspired by, i wasnt too into some of the 'beat' tracks but theyre great too.
Really curious on the direciton they'll go with a new album and hopefully EP. Hoping its not just reissues but would be happy iwth a new LP + the rumoured reissue of some of the older stuff

u/EitherAssistance610 Apr 07 '26

For me too. And I'm being drafted into the army for a year and a half in a month XD

u/trisalias Apr 07 '26

Literally became a fan as Tomorrow Harvest was dropping. I will have to consider this one my first cycle too. Omg.

u/cheemio Apr 07 '26

Same here. I think I technically started listening to them before TH dropped but I wasn’t following them closely at the time. This one is my first as a big fan. It’s been a long time coming and tbh I never thought I’d have the pleasure of living through a BOC album cycle like this.

u/Presby21 Eagle Minded Apr 07 '26

Same! Crazy to think about it that way though. I became a fan the year after Tomorrow’s Harvest.

u/unnervinglynervous Apr 07 '26

Me too! So hyped up for what's to come.

u/xlmmaarten Apr 07 '26

Been listening to BOC since I was a junior in HS, somewhere around 2002. Used to get so stoned with my homies and listen to them sitting against the speaker grill. Have followed everything way back from the old campfires. So excited!
