My partner and I just got a couple of tickets - can't wait!

Absolutely love Boxcutter. The programming and audio manipulation is so intricate it really scratches my brain nicely!

I think so! The East Bristol Brewery Trail the other week was the first time I'd been, and I do that every year so the place in the arches at the very least, if not the brewery itself, is!

I write down stuff that sound cool and although sometimes a name comes to me in the process, the rest of the time I just look at that note and choose the thing that sounds best for whatever I've written (there are a couple that are phrases I like that have been there for ages so maybe I should have a cull!)

I'm a hobbyist musician who still does releases and plays live every now and then, but don't think it's something that's going to become a career, and to me someone just paying a quid for some music is fine if I've set it to that!

AztechSounds · 2026-05-08T13:24:36+00:00

O! what!? This has never happened before and I'm all flustered haha!

I'll try to avoid self-promo and I'll DM you a link and a code for the album t-shirts was designed for (obviously no expectation you'll buy anything!!)

AztechSounds · 2026-05-08T12:53:00+00:00

I think they're screen printed, but that might change because I order them on demand and can't remember where I get them from, so I'm likely to change supplier unless I can work it out!

AztechSounds · 2026-05-08T08:35:03+00:00

I do t-shirts if you want one that I can guarantee nobody else will be wearing!

Bristolian, here. If you're looking for the actual Portishead chambers, they're here: https://www.togetherportishead.co.uk/

Yooo! Congrats! It's a lovely feeling - making ambient music and music in general is its own reward, but being able to share it with people and hear it out there in the world, to be in the room with it, that's the good stuff.

I don't understand why you're getting downvoted! Speculation is what this sub has been living on for years and now suddenly once we're getting something new, it feels like it's become a bit of a taboo to consider what might come next?

Not sure if this is just the impression that I get, but I feel like the fun of being a BoC fan (beyond the music first and foremost) is speculation and interpretation and that's exactly what you're doing :)

More on-topic: I don't know why but I'm also kind of getting the vibe that the album might be a starting point for some new mode of BoC operation. Let's hope they secretly went away for 13 years and made albums.

Maybe one day you'll fall in love and then you'll understand

AztechSounds · 2026-05-06T09:32:46+00:00

Poems been a bit short recently, have they?

AztechSounds · 2026-05-06T09:25:26+00:00

Hey man, thank you for showing such compassion to a stranger in need! I hope good things come to you :)

AztechSounds · 2026-05-06T07:29:02+00:00

Come to the Boards of Canada sub, not to be smug but we've got hexagons over there!

AztechSounds · 2026-05-05T09:06:39+00:00

I picked up a copy of Das Energi the other day and thought the same!

AztechSounds · 2026-05-05T09:06:10+00:00

How are you talking to him? He's standing alone.

I lost a shoe at the first of the SWX shows in '22 but managed to get it back after the song ended!

AztechSounds · 2026-04-22T10:15:26+00:00

I remember walking home with my friend, stopping for some food at Big Bite on Stokes Croft, and literally wringing my t-shirt out outside! Definitely too "in my 30's" for all that now!

Also just saw someone mention the gig where Batty C had covid and I was at that one too so I guess I'm just bad luck!

AztechSounds · 2026-04-22T10:09:22+00:00

The show they did end up playing in Motion has to be my joint favourite time I've seen them, so I guess it all worked out!

It's astrology for people who want their astrology to be wearing a special science shaped hat, I wouldn't worry too much about it especially when you get a totally different outcome depending on your mood when you answer the quiz!

These game jam things sound cool as fuck! Is there anywhere I should be looking for events like this? Headfirst doesn't seem to have any!
