[[LP5]] (actual title not yet known) is the upcoming fifth studio album by [[Boards of Canada]], which will serve as the follow-up to their 2013 album ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. Although there is currently no official title or release date, [[LP5]] was confirmed to be in production in June 2022 by [[Boards of Canada]]'s online representative, [[MDG]], in a private message to [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] user babylulu. Subsequent sporadic but consistent activity on [[Boards of Canada]]'s official social media, including a reference to "future news and announcements"<ref> https://www.threads.net/@boardsofcanada/post/CvHoTJlsRWR </ref>, suggests that the intent to release another album is still there. 

== Confirmation ==
* [[MDG]], June 2022: "Nothing specific I'm allowed to share yet unfortunately, just that a new album is on its way."

* [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], April 2023: "we don't know when the new BoC album is coming"<ref> https://bleep.com/newsletters/boards-of-canada--music-has-the-right-to-children-25th-anv-1 </ref>. Note the use of 'when' rather than 'if' implying that the album is confirmed to be in progress.
* [https://www.instagram.com/boardsofcanada/ BoC's official Instagram], March 2025: [[Boards of Canada]] likes 14 comments on an 11 week old Instagram post.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DDrvdn7Mfez/</ref> The liked comments all revolved around the theme of new music.

== Speculation ==
* There have been many theories concerning potential release dates of [[LP5]], or announcements relating to it. So far most of these dates have passed with no discernible activity from [[Boards of Canada]].
* Many have speculated a 2025 release date to coincide with the 30th anniversary of [[Boards of Canada]]'s first official release, ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]''. There is some circumstantial evidence to support a 2025 release date, but it is mostly speculative.
