Overview
- A three-minute piece titled “Tape 5” appeared on the duo’s official YouTube with matching posts from Warp, marking the clearest sign of new activity.
- Neither the group nor Warp has said it is new Boards of Canada music, leaving attribution open.
- The upload follows a low-tech teaser run that began with unmarked VHS tapes sent to fans and a wave of posters in London, New York, California, and Tokyo.
- Warp highlighted the poster designs on Instagram before the video appeared, continuing the campaign without an explanation.
- Fan archivists report the VHS audio matches an old Christian bible school magazine ad from 1991, a nod to the duo’s habit of sampling obscure media after years without a new album since 2013.
