Shibuya-ku Tokyo

After an intriguing week of decyphering cryptic transmissions Boards of Canada remained silent on their social networks, except for a couple of links related to the release of Tomorrow's Harvest.

The 21st of May, however, Boards of Canada posted the following cryptic status update on their official Facebook account.

May 22nd 24:00 @ 1-23-10 Jinnan Shibuya-ku Tokyo

jar from the Twoism (messageboard) was there and made the second recording shown below.

Movement Electronic Music Festival

• Allegedly a new Boards of Canada track was played at the Movement festival in Detroit. It happened right after Audion's set at Sunday 26th of May. Presumable the track played is "Cold Earth", based upon the track by track review from The Quietus.

• NME confirmed the track that had been played to be "Cold Earth".

Look Sad Reel

• 27th of May: Hell Interface posted the first video listed below with the title: "Look Sad Reel". This seems to be an anagram for Lake Dolores. See the second video for a 1980s commercial about the Lake Dolores Waterpark.

Audio

• Moebius]: "They just distorted some of the original ad copy about camping and bringing your kids (and special rates!)
  • Comparison with the original ad.

• etcher: "I enhanced the low audio between the 20-22 second mark & reversed it. It sounds like the first word is "sun" and the second is "in the sand". I could be completely wrong here, but i was just really curious."

There is a sort of light caretaker/security situation that may thwart other earlybirds. Unsure. Only a small handful of people on site yet. I basically snuck in."
