And it's not like those themes were exclusive to those albums, those are all ideas they've explored in all of their work, so it's on brand for them. But I mean... it's VERY on brand, yknow? Like, exactly what you think of when you think of BOC. A little on the nose.

Maybe now that it's been ~13 years since their last full length project, they're taking their previous exploration of memory/nostalgia, and applying it to themselves. Taking their own art and distorting it into something that feels like what you remember Boards of Canada being, but with something subtly off about it. Like a fond memory that's faded with time, so faded that you can't quite remember what made it fond to begin with. Maybe even making a little commentary on their legacy as musicians, whatever opinion that might be.
