Boards of Canada share first new music in 13 years

What a day for fans of classic UK downtempo dance music. First we had Massive Attack’s collab with Tom Waits, which was both their first music in a long time, and now we’ve got Scottish duo Boards of Canada, who have just released their first new music in 13 years.

Earlier this week BoC mailed mysterious VHS tapes to fans while enigmatic posters went up in London, New York, California, and other cities. Today, the duo shared “Tape 05,” a three-minute ambient piece, on YouTube. It came with no press release or notes; label Warp also shared it on their social accounts but it hasn’t hit streaming services.

More to come? Probably. Stay tuned.
