A warmly distorted, nostalgic masterpiece of electronica that sounds like half-remembered childhood memories pressed into wax.

About Boards of Canada

Boards of Canada

Boards of Canada are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin. After releasing several EPs, the group signed to Warp Records in 1998 and released their debut album Music Has the Right to Children to widespread critical acclaim; it is now considered a landmark album in electronic music. This was followed by their second studio album Geogaddi (2002), which adopted a darker tone and references to religious cults and the occult. Their third studio album The Campfire Headphase (2005), emphasized more organic instrumentation and conventional song structures. After a seven-year hiatus, the duo returned with their fourth studio album Tomorrow's Harvest (2013), which drew inspiration from film scores. Their fifth studio album Inferno is scheduled to be released in May 2026, their first new release in 13 years.
