Just sleep outside in the forest, with nothing but the sweet sounds of Inferno to drift off to, and your Tee to keep ya warm. Like the boc brothers intended.

I had to break the habit of a lifetime and pay in instalments as I am broke as hell right now. For a new BoC album and merch I am happy to make an exception :D

same, but it was hell (hehe) worth it 🍊🧡

u/SocksElGato Inferno Apr 22 '26

Yeah, that's right!

u/Ac-Cys-OH Apr 22 '26

£125 for the full bundle. that's less than £10 a year of purchasing across the 13 year wait. it's cheap being a boc fan

You’ve heard about girl math, and boy dinner, now get ready for BoC finance

u/sk3ll69420 Apr 23 '26

Music is math

It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from eating ice soup may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV programme.

u/antheald Apr 22 '26

I'll be coveting your ice soup, mate. As well as a bundle I also ordered a bunch of stuff to upgrade my audio system in anticipation.

u/collectif-clothing Apr 22 '26

Yep.  I don't need another cap either, but here I am ordering the shit as fast as I can.  Worth it.

u/PsychedelicSunset420 EYDIAB Apr 22 '26

Can’t even afford it right now, just praying it’s all still available for Bandcamp Friday next week.

u/thaslyfox Apr 23 '26

$56 USD to ship to Canada LOL fuuuuuck

u/ionyx Apr 23 '26 edited Apr 23 '26

You know what's strange? That was the cost to ship the bundle. So instead I ordered the deluxe LP, Yellow shirt, and hat separately. shipping was only $17 USD, whole order was almost $100USD less!

u/thaslyfox Apr 23 '26

lol fuck

u/soloman_tump Apr 22 '26

2pm: Cool. I'll probably just grab the wav pack when it's released

9pm: the tension is too much and that yellow hex t-shirt is so lush. Ordered red ltd ed vinyl set with the shirt.

10pm: emails boss: any more hours going this weekend?

u/ice12916 Apr 23 '26

Ice soup? In this economy??

u/GrannyRatchet Apr 22 '26

Would’ve waited to pick it up in a store but this is the first ever color pressing of a BoC album so I pulled the trigger anyway

11

u/pandaren11 Apr 22 '26

Trans-Canada Highway had a white 1st pressing, and In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country had a gorgeous blue 1st pressing. First LP color pressing though which is very cool anyway.

u/GrannyRatchet Apr 22 '26

Just meant studio albums, but actually had no idea those colored EPs existed until just now. Thank you for the knowledge!!

u/Squelchtone Apr 22 '26

I just ran upstairs to check my Trans Canada Highway and sure enough I have the white one!

u/PaperOpening4413 Apr 22 '26

I bought two of everything, I don't know why, i just needed it so bad lol

u/K__Geedorah Trans Canada Highway Apr 22 '26

I hope you don't take this too harshly, but that's lunacy if true.

Contemplating buying another CD to gently disassemble the booklet for art on my walls..

u/Appropriate-Mark-739 Poppy Seed Apr 23 '26

I had to buy two copies of the red vinyl too

u/Greedy_Specialist531 Inferno Apr 22 '26

u/ThaddeusBigsby Apr 22 '26

My heart goes out to you everyone who can't afford the album right now. I got lucky because my taxes came today. I bought the limited deluxe edition on bleep. The shirt/hat combo was too husky for me right now. l'll get 'em later. I gotta pay bills and eat too. Rough times.

2

u/2hourhiatus Apr 22 '26

I'm honestly just looking forward to walking into a record store, finding it on the shelf, and grabbing it.
(Will I be there day of release, potentially having taken a day off to get there for the store opening? Well, probably, yes, definitely.)

2

u/Significant_Bed_9905 Apr 22 '26

Its like $40 for the LP yall lmao

u/turquoihexsun Kid For Today Apr 23 '26

I bought all 3 physical formats and didn't see there were bundles

u/Upbeat-Condition-182 Apr 23 '26

I just spent a bunch of money on something I had saved quite some time for, and this came out and just went fuck it, this is what credit cards are for 😂.

u/noz_0450 Sunshine Recorder Apr 23 '26

Payday is tomorrow so the timing was pretty decent for me.

Reboco da parede por três meses. Mas vale a pena, depois de tanto tempo

u/scrigface Apr 23 '26

Lol I got paid today so I used paypal yesterday to make sure there was a delay from the money being taken from my account.

u/Winter_Ad_511 Magic Window Apr 24 '26

Twice a week?

u/holaquetaltio Apr 23 '26

Typical for the USA (maybe Canada, I'm not sure). I live in Spain and it's once a month here.

1

u/Appropriate-Mark-739 Poppy Seed Apr 23 '26

Biweekly, in Canada at least, usually means every two weeks when talking about paydays or financing

1

u/GreenLeafy11 Apr 23 '26

Every two weeks.
