No new music, no explanation \u2014 just grainy, retro weirdness. Then, posters started showing up in Tokyo, London, New York and Los Angeles. Now comes something more tangible: the pioneering U.K. electronic music duo has quietly released the three-minute piece of music \u201cTape 05,\u201d its first since 2013\u2019s <em>Tomorrow\u2019s Harvest<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinmagazine.com\/2026\/04\/topspin-the-underestimated-threat-of-ai\/\">TOPSPIN: The underestimated threat of AI\u00a0<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinmagazine.com\/2026\/04\/lana-del-rey-007-first-light\/\">Lana Del Rey Unveils \u2018007 First Light\u2019 Theme Song<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinmagazine.com\/2026\/04\/massive-attack-tom-waits-single\/\">Massive Attack, Tom Waits Unite On New Single<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"6bghDcbzfEU\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a standalone track, a fragment or part of a larger breadcrumb trail is anyone\u2019s guess, but the tune falls squarely in the Boards of Canada milieu. \u201cTape 05\u201d is warm, ghostly and out of focus; it feels almost unearthed rather than released on purpose.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tomorrow\u2019s Harvest<\/em> debuted at a career-best No. 7 on the Official U.K. Albums chart and No. 13 on the <em>Billboard<\/em> 200.
