Boards of Canada Record Store Day Releases

Acclaimed electronic group Boards of Canada have not released a new record since 2006 with the Trans Canada Highway EP. The group has claimed to be working on new material since the last release but have never released any information about the recording process so fans have been left wondering when new material will again be released for the past 7 years now. Within the past few weeks, a new statement was issued saying the group has been working on new material and even better yet, over the weekend some new material has been discovered. The group secretly planted several bits of a new recording pressed to a 12" single released as part of record store day in only a few select shops. One has surfaced in New York, and the other few found were discovered over in Europe. The recordings all have the same song with different numbers being spoken over the 20 second piece. The snippet isn't much to listen to but for fans this is huge as this is clear evidence that new material is being recorded making this release a big deal. So in other words, fans keep holding on. Here is one of the snippets available so far.
