Summary of latest activity: After years without new studio albums, BoC have been teasing a new release with a campaign involving mysterious VHS tapes and cryptic online activity, suggesting a follow-up to Tomorrow’s Harvest may be on the way. This campaign has generated substantial fan speculation about a new album arriving in 2026. This framing comes from multiple music outlets tracing the promotional clues and the band’s public statements and activities around early to mid-2026.

What we know for sure: There has been no formal, detailed official announcement with album title or tracklist as of now; however, the pattern of teasers—vinyl appearances, VHS tapes, and social media hints—points to a forthcoming BoC release in 2026. Fans are tracking the puzzle across various outlets and fan wikis that compile these clues.

Context from prior BoC releases: The duo’s last full-length album was Tomorrow’s Harvest (2013), with a sequence of sporadic releases and remixes since then; the current campaign appears to be an intensified pre-release build similar to prior cryptic campaigns the duo has used in the past.
