Latest revision as of 14:55, 9 April 2025
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 user babylulu. Subsequent sporadic but consistent activity on Boards of Canada's official social media, including a reference to "future news and announcements"[1], suggests that the intent to release another album is still there.

- Many have speculated a 2025 release date to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Boards of Canada's first official release, Twoism. There is significant evidence suggesting a 2025 release date, most notably a substantial increase in activity on Boards of Canada's social media accounts. However, a release date for LP5 has yet to be confirmed.
