New BoC Album Titled HHHHH?

Waemer pointed out this blurb on WARP's site... dunno what to make of this, but more info as it becomes available. I'm guessing it's placeholder text.

Or WARP fucking with us smile

UPDATE: Just placeholder text, and it has been removed. Everybody go back to listening to Geogaddi.

Broken Drum Is Beautiful

Beck's new album, Guero, is out today in the UK (tomorrow in the US), but what fans really are clamouring after is the Deluxe 2 disc version that contains an exclusive remix by Boards of Canada. The song, Broken Drum, was remixed by BoC and Beck himself says it's one of his favourite remixes he's ever had done. I can see why. Have a listen to this one minute clip and experience how well Beck and BoC's music go together.

BoC Beck Remix Update

As previously reported, the remix Boards of Canada did for Beck's upcoming album, Guero, was named "Blank Space". I was a bit mystified when I visited Beck's Official Website and noticed that the track was entilted "Broken Drum", not Blank Space.

It has been confirmed with Hexagon Sun that the track is indeed called "Broken Drum" and not "Blank Space".

The remix appears on the CD/DVD version of the album, not the regular release. Guero will be out March 29th on Geffen/interscope records.

BoC Remixes Beck

Skabio points out that Billboard Magazine has information about Beck's upcoming album, Guero, and the remix of Blank Space by none other than Boards of Canada.

Here's an excerpt of the Billboard.com mention:

"In the wake of an unfinished copy of his new album leaking onto the Internet last month, Beck will offer fans a bounty of reasons to purchase the real deal. Due March 29 via Interscope, "Guero" will be released as a standard CD, a double-disc package with two videos and a 5.1 audio mix and a third edition featuring four remixes.

Videos for "E-Pro" and "Black Tambourine" will be included on the double-disc set, while Boards Of Canada, Octet, Dizzee Rascal and, as first reported here, Royksopp, contribute the remixes on the third package.

On Tuesday (Feb. 1), Beck quietly unveiled the "Hell Yes" EP on Apple's iTunes Music Store, featuring remixes of the title track and "Que Onda Guero" by 8-bit and remixes of "E-Pro" and "Girl" by Paza. A video for "Hell Yes" directed by Mumbleboy is also available on iTunes.

Beck has yet to confirm tour dates in support of "Guero," but he played his second surprise show in recent weeks last Friday at Echo in Los Angeles, which featured a number of tracks from the new album."

Also, Moebius has this excerpt from a Clash Magazine article where Beck talks about BoC doing the remix:

" I actually got Boards of Canada to do one too. I think that's my favorite remix I've ever had done.

What did they do to the original?
Well, they brought out something that were there but then they just added a whole new dimension. I guess it's quite an emotional song and they brought out something bittersweet in it that was kinda hippyish, but it doesn't maim you with saccharain. It kinda gets you right in the chest.

Which song is it they did?
It's called 'Blank Space'."
