Hey it's officially official. Hell has frozen over. Tomorrow's Harvest comes out in June, nearly 8 years after their last album.

I nearly had a seizure when I saw this. First MBV, now BOC? it's coming out around my birthday. better go beg for the pre order!

Though I do have an issue with the fact that everybody's going to have insane expectations. these guys have been effectively dead to the music world for like, a decade, and now out of nowheres they're releasing codes and a preorder. It's nice to see a band that formed my musical taste come back to life, though.

I get off work to see this, a shame it comes at a less savory point in my life, but I'll take what I can get. I just hope this album won't be associated with negative memories in the future. Also, to celebrate, I'll post my favorite song at the moment.

My expectations are this: I ****ing love everything they've ever done, including Trans-Canada Highway and Campfire Headphase. It's not that my expectations are high, it's just that I think it may be impossible for them to make something I dislike, and I think a lot of people feel the same way. I also fully expect them to continue in the direction of Campfire Headphase (songs that are more cohesive and melody-based), which the purists and elitists will surely lament, and I do not.

This song changed my life, and my high school crush always listened to this group. I'm curious about the new album, indeed...

In fact, in 2005 or so when I hung out with a group of older boys (I was 14), my musical horizons exploded. Suddenly, Boom Bip, Squarepusher, and DJ Shadow entered my vocabulary...

This song has always reminded me of my childhood.

New song is out, really enjoying it so far.

Dayvan Cowboy · 05-23-2013, 03:45 PM

you beat me to it alex! I'm so happy they rose from the dead. this song alone was worth the seven year wait!
It's very brian eno, and it has amazing layering. They're really good at contrast when it comes to sound. they always have crispy crackly drums over floaty synth lines.

Their new song is amazing and if it's any indication of what's to come on this new album then it's going to be well worth the wait. Goddamn those synths sound good. I can't quite put my finger on the mood of the track, it feels tense and relaxing at the same time. The video sums it up nicely, it's like I'm lying on grass relaxing while staring up at clouds moving quickly overhead as if time has sped up.
