BOARDS OF CANADA (S5 | E234)

Boards of Canada

Signature Albums:

Tomorrow’s Harvest (2013): Their most cinematic and apocalyptic work, inspired by Cold War-era media and 1980s dystopian films.

Music Has the Right to Children (1998): Widely considered a landmark in electronic music. Released on Warp and Skam, it’s full of analog warmth, VHS fuzz, and mysterious vocal snippets.

Geogaddi (2002): Darker and more cryptic, filled with numerological and occult references.

The Campfire Headphase (2005): Marked a stylistic shift with more live instrumentation and guitar textures.

Key Facts:

Label Affiliations: Warp Records, Skam Records, and their own imprint, Music70.
After the treasure was found, the contents were auctioned in December 2022, raising about $1.3 million. Fenn passed away a few months after the discovery, and the precise spot remains difficult to access and largely unmarked, with many experts advising against visiting due to safety and legal concerns.

Formed: Early 1990s, in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh, Scotland.

Style: Ambient, IDM, downtempo, experimental. Their music often evokes feelings of childhood memory, nature, and faded media.
