Boards Of Canada have shared a new track, ‘Tape 05’.
Clocking in at just over three minutes, the new cut was uploaded to YouTube today (16 April) and shared via Boards Of Canada and Warp’s social media channels with no other context included. You can watch a video for the song, centred around analogue visuals and the Hexagon Sun symbol long associated with the Scottish duo, below.
The unveiling of ‘Tape 05’ comes after speculation around Boards Of Canada’s return was triggered earlier this month when mysterious VHS tapes were mailed out to fans from addresses linked to Warp and its retail arm Bleep. Posters believed to be linked to the duo were also put up in cities such as London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo, with Warp later sharing images of said posters via social media earlier this week.
It’s not yet known exactly what Boards Of Canada are planning, but with new music having now been shared online, further speculation around the duo’s first album since 2013’s Tomorrow’s Harvest has intensified.
