What’s circulating: There’s renewed chatter around VHS-style promo tapes and related material linked to Boards of Canada, with fans tracking multiple tape batches and sporadic online sightings. Some creators have suggested a possible pre-release or tease ahead of new material, but official confirmation from the duo or their label remains outstanding.
