New BoC Album Announcement Soon! [UPDATE]

UPDATE: Obviously, this being April 1st, is an April Fool's Gag. Cheers to those who can 'take a joke' and for those who can't... perhaps re-examine what really matters in life.

Exclusive to WATMM, here's some factoids about the new album:

28 track double CD (seems like there are more short interludes on this one), gatefold digipak
75% is entirely new music created post-Campfire Headphase, the rest is older tracks and ideas worked up to the brother's high standards.
There will be exclusive Bleep.com tracks available to those who preorder the album and those who purchase the digital version. No word on if these are remixes or original tracks.
There will be a 'deluxe' version, vinyl only, limited to 1060 copies (you see what they did there?), which will contain 'neat stuff' (all I was told, details to come)
The album will be released in the second half of the year, 'before the leaves turn colours' (could this be the title of the album?)

The first track off the album is called 'Isolated Receiver' and will be a single release as well before the album's release. It's supposedly "their best track they feel they've done yet"(!)

The other big bit of news is that this is not the only Boards release this year - but nothing to announce at the moment.

Boards of Canada To Appear On TV? (UPDATED)

According to the press release here, (PDF) BBC2 Scotland's show The Music Show will feature (although in what capacity is unknown) Boards of Canada with their track Dayvan Cowboy, on 5 November at 7:30PM. Whether TMS is going to show the video, or they will be performing it live (which would be incredible to see), remains to be seen. Here's the relevant excerpt from the press release:

"In an exclusive set for The Music Show, The Fratellis perform three album tracks – Whistle For The Choir, Chelsea Dagger and Got Ma Nuts From A Hippie – recorded in BBC Scotland’s Glasgow studio.
Mixing up a concoction of 70s glam, 60s songwriting skills and a pinch of punk, The Fratellis slick sound has attracted plaudits across the land. Singer Jon, drummer Mince and bassist Barry recently ruled supreme in the album charts with their debut release, Costello Music, and their forthcoming
Glasgow Barrowlands tour dates sold out in a matter of minutes - faster than any other band in history. Also featured this week are Glasgow art-rock trio F.O Machete who perform What’s The Signal and Scottish electronic duo, Boards of Canada, aka brothers Michael and Marcus Eoin Sandison with the track Dayvan Cowboy."

UPDATE: We have confirmation from Hexagon Sun that is is NOT a performance. Nothing more is being said, however.
