Boards Of Canada return teased: Mysterious Warp posters appear

Warp Records has placed mysterious posters in cities worldwide, including London, Tokyo, Los Angeles and New York, and has shared images of the posters on X and Instagram. The posters depict ghostly figures such as a woman and a child with entirely white eyes, and they display a hexagon motif in the bottom right corner. A matching hexagon appeared on VHS tapes reportedly sent out by Warp and Bleep last week, and coverage of the posters has linked these elements to speculation about a Boards Of Canada return teased.

Observers have compared this rollout to previous Boards Of Canada teaser campaigns, including an unannounced sale of a small number of 12‑inch vinyl records on Record Store Day 2013 ahead of Tomorrow’s Harvest. Boards Of Canada have not officially released new music since Tomorrow’s Harvest. The Quietus published reporting on the posters.

Warp Records recently unveiled mysterious posters in major cities across the globe, including London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and New York. These posters feature ghostly images of individuals, such as a woman and a child, distinguished by their all-white eyes. A prominent hexagon motif, located in the bottom right corner, further characterizes the posters. This same hexagon motif was reportedly included on VHS tapes sent by Warp and Bleep in the past week. To increase the intrigue, Warp Records shared these poster images on their X and Instagram social media platforms.

The deployment of these mysterious posters is reminiscent of previous promotional strategies by the elusive band Boards Of Canada. In the past, the band’s campaigns included stealth sales of 12-inch vinyl records on events such as Record Store Day in 2013, leading up to the release of “Tomorrow’s Harvest.” Although Boards Of Canada has not released new music since “Tomorrow’s Harvest,” this current rollout has renewed speculation about a potential return.
