Boards of Canada

[Highly Psychological]

For past few years I have consistently gone back to this legendary enigmatic, reclusive Scottish duo's catalog. Not sure what i like about them so much. I like them more now than ever.
Think their music does different things for everyone. A lot of people mention Nostalgia, for me not so much....their music evokes a strange feeling but i cant quite put my finger on. Whenever i used to listen to their music images of the vast desolate cold Canadian wilderness sprung to mind.

But now i interpret their sound differently i see it as a lot warmer and more complex. They have about 4 unreleased albums which have been floating about on the web for ages now, material from the early 90s a lot of it is mindblowing too and contains some of their best material. And some bootlegs of their live performances have some stunning unreleased music too. Music has the Right to Children is probably my favorite, Campfire Headphase is the one which is their least interesting to my mind.
Specific tracks like Aquarius, Roygbiv Olson, Nine Rubber Wisdom, Echus, Iced Cooley, Dayvan Cowboy, Buckie High are some of my favorites .

They said a year ago they are in the process of making a new record, hopefully we will see it this year.

[thefragile_jake]

Music Has the Right to Children is one of my favorite records of all time and I discovered Boards of Canada around a time I was just starting college and completely new finding out about all kinds of music from downloading and reading about random acts online.

I believe MHTRTC was in a data disc mix that a friend let me borrow and through my first listen, I was hooked. It's ambiance and attention to detail was so incredible and the music took me to another world. I loved it and still hold it in such incredible regard.

Probably my favorite song by them...hard to pick though.

Their other records are really good too, but MHTRTC is just so amazing. I really, really hope we see another record from them. With Daft Punk and Aphex Twin apparently having records ready for release, this power house duo needs to return as well.

[coolguy]

I saw some link to an article saying that Boards of Canada are releasing a double LP this year, although there is nothing about it on Warp's website.

Hmm after further review, it appears to be an April Fool's joke... not funny.

[xmd 5a]

Geogaddi is a fucking trip. It's one of those albums I'll never tire of. Their other albums are great and all, but Geogaddi is just transcendent. I've always felt BoC picked up where The Orb left off with UFOrb, Orbus Terrarum and Pomme Fritz. Geogaddi sounds like the perfect union of those albums IMHO.

[joplinpicasso]

The Campfire Headphase is wildly underrated.

[elevenism]

They said a year ago they are in the process of making a new record, hopefully we will see it this year.

Where/when did they say this, and they being who, and worst of all, was it last April 1st? i have this really strong feeling that we won't be hearing from them again...that MHTRTC, Geogaddi and TCH were a kind of trilogy, with the first one being the young, innocent, hip pot smokiness; the second being a descent into a kind of (possibly hallucinogen induced) madness; and the third being memories of those days. Twoism, ABPOITC, etc, are their own entities.

Strangely enough, The Campfire Headphase is my favorite of the three "big ones." Geogaddi is amazing but also hard to listen to and fairly disturbing. I guess MHTRTC is the one i listen to the most after TCH.

A lot of the noises that BOC use remind me of the sounds heard in those films they used to show us in school about the solar system and such, especially on tracks like Kid for Today.

I can't put my finger on why, i just have this feeling that they were a beautiful, mysterious, elusive force of nature that existed and is over. Luckily, one discovers new sounds and layers nearly every time a BOC record is played.

I hope i'm wrong about BOC being over. i've been surprised before (Portishead 3, Trent's decision to tour again and not have it be some off the wall shit like just him and a piano, the Dallas Mavericks winning a championship.)

I love BOC most of all, i think, because their music somehow softly, and yes, warmly, manages to convey at once an innocence, a celebration of nature, and a mirror of consciousness (yes, i feel that it is THAT deep,) complete with awe, fear, and the simple yet INSANELY complex dichotomy of the very essence of the miracle of human existence.

[The Reason Being]

Well it's something!

[botley]

Come on, guys. Just drop a whole track.

[elevenism]

Well it's something!

http://pitchfork.com/news/50420-boards-of-canada-released-a-mysterious-12-on-record-store-day/

Well i'll be damned. Five days after my sad tirade about how there is no more BOC. Shut me the hell up!
This HAS to mean new album...it has to.
lolz, motherfuckers, releasing ONE copy of 20 seconds of music. But that's part of why i love them so much...the mystery men of idm.
They are, without a doubt, my favorite band after NIN.

[PQHooligan]

Definitely keep your eye on this thread:

As for music by BoC, I'd be posting pretty much their entire catalog, but here are some of my favorites:

[zaps30]

Random and cool news. I hope a new album does drop in June.

[Highly Psychological]

I cant believe its been 8 years since their last album. 2005 seems like the other week.

This type of activity from BOC means there is a new album on the way. They are always cryptic and weird before revealing their music.
June date is feesable. Hopefully a new track will be out in a week or two.

I wonder if the 8 year gap was them taking time reinventing themselves. Portishead took 11 years to make Third they really didn't want to sound like they had before. Be interesting to see where they can go with their sound.
Or it could be just like My Bloody Valentine, take a really long gap and come back with an album that sounds exactly the same.

[smokey_mcpot]

i was walking home at 2am the other night and this came on the shuffle, PERFECT track for walking through a bad neighborhood in the middle of the night with drugs on you.

[Jord]

Having always been a barely casual boc listener, I've just decided to throw together a playlist of random tracks of theirs, then halfway through 84 Pontiac Dream came on. This has just changed everything.

[The Reason Being]

So four snippets of numbers have been heard so far:

(http://pitchfork.com/news/50443-second-boards-of-canada-12-found/)Just stumbled upon this, not sure how I missed it after all this time. From the Japanese release of Campfire Headphase. I always did have a soft spot for their "lighter"(?) stuff..

Hell yeah! look at all the ETS boards of canada fans coming out!

THANK YOU! i've never heard this one. Holy shit y'all, i can't fucking WAIT for a new BoC album. like a dream come true. like NIN touring again. like how utterly AMAZING HTDA was at Coachella.
The music gods are smiling on us.

[eversonpoe]

"everything you do is a balloon" is what got me into them. it's on the soundtrack to the film "morvern callar" (which i was obsessed with in high school) and is used diegetically within the movie to a beautiful effect.

[thefragile_jake]

This guerilla marketing has me crazy excited guys. It's crazy how much a little sample of warbled synth can give you insane goose bumps.

not that there was any doubt that this is leading up to a new release (of some variety), it's still kind of exciting to see the 2013 Warp Records stamp.

I still recommend, for anyone who hasn't yet, to check out these 2 sites that update as it happens:

Can't believe we're finally getting a new BOC album. This year has been ridiculous.

[exilajei]

yessssssss

Holy shit, that was one of the coolest reveals ever.

Vinyl ordered.

Has this year officially been declared "best ever" yet?

[Maximilian]

'bout time these guys sent me on another trip (without actual drugs)......

[Jinsai]

yay, ordered the record.

BoC just uploaded a new teaser trailer... nothing really new here, but still cool

[thevoid99]

I'm new to this group, where should I start?

[Jinsai]

I'm new to this group, where should I start?

Almost everyone would suggest Music Has the Right to Children, and it's hard to argue with that, even if my personal favorite album of theirs is Geogaddi.

[thevoid99]

Ok, thanks. The only thing I've heard from them was a track that appeared in the soundtrack to the film Morvern Callar. A very underrated soundtrack album.

[eversonpoe]

Ok, thanks. The only thing I've heard from them was a track that appeared in the soundtrack to the film Morvern Callar. A very underrated soundtrack album.

don't know if you saw a page or so back, but i said that that's how i got into them. ;) love that film & soundtrack so much. and honestly, if that song is your only exposure to them so far, start with geogaddi.

[blackholesun]

Definitely start with Music Has the Right to Children or Geogaddi. Very different feeling albums, albeit with a similar sound. The Campfire Headphase is my personal favorite, but I found it the hardest to get into.

The track titles on this new one seem very dark, so I'm hoping for a dark album like Geogaddi.

[coolguy]

Am I the only one who'd recommend starting with Twoism?

[liquidcalm]

I think Campfire is pretty accessible, or at least made with the most familiar sounds.

[Jinsai]

Am I the only one who'd recommend starting with Twoism?

No... probably not. I love Twoism.

[Highly Psychological]

Would be cool to see some live shows too, they never play live think the last show they did was in August 2001 at All Tomorrows Parties, they have played about 10 shows in their entire career.
Bootlegs reveal them to be mindblowing with a lot of never released material.

[joplinpicasso]

They've progressed so perfectly in their career that I honestly would recommend in chronological order from 'MHTRTC' onwards until 'Trans Canada Highway', and then 'Twoism'. I really hope they don't backtrack fully on 'Tomorrow's Harvest', forgetting cool guitar lines and reusing children samples again. Is that just me?

[The Reason Being]

I'm expecting this to be their most accessible album. Not saying that's what i'd like, but it's what I expect.

[Deepvoid]

Really looking forward to this album. It's been so freaking long.

[elevenism]

Where/when did they say this, and they being who, and worst of all, was it last April 1st? i have this really strong feeling that we won't be hearing from them again...that MHTRTC, Geogaddi and TCH were a kind of trilogy, with the first one being the young, innocent, hip pot smokiness; the second being a descent into a kind of (possibly hallucinogen induced) madness; and the third being memories of those days.

i stand corrected. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't fucking believe it! There IS a god!!!!!!!!!!! are you guys as thrilled as i am!? i think i MIGHT have came in my pants when i saw the reveal on youtube.
Oh...My...God. I can NOT FUCKING WAIT!

Fantastic.

Boards of Canada are Scottish, you know.

/national pride.

[thefragile_jake]

Wow, this track is sounding really great.

[Highly Psychological]

I like it. It reminds me of something from Geogaddi.

[xmd 5a]

Now that's just brilliant.

[elevenism]

i never thought i'd see the day. Good god i love this band

[DF118]

DJ Food has made an extended 10 minutes long mix, with a longer percussion sequence. (https://soundcloud.com/strictly/boc-rftd-djfood-10min)

[Rdm]

Best song I heard all year. Absolutely brilliant, if the album sounds like this it will be their best

[thefragile_jake]

From Pitchfork.com (http://pitchfork.com/news/50908-watch-boards-of-canada-debut-a-new-song-in-detroit/)...

Boards of Canada have already dropped an official hint that we can expect something from them at 5 p.m. PDT toda (http://pitchfork.com/news/50899-boards-of-canada-tease-something-that-will-happen-tomorrow/)y-- but in the meantime, the duo appeared to premiere a new song at Detroit's Movement Electronic Music Festival last night. Just before Squarepusher (http://pitchfork.com/artists/3921-squarepusher/) took to the stage, a song that 2020k suggests (http://2020k.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/boards-of-canada-distribute-new-vinyl-releases-out-for-national-records-day/) is called "Cold Earth" was broadcast over the soundsystem, with accompanying pink visuals. 2020k point to an oblique tweet (https://twitter.com/WarpRecords/status/338817207364640769) from Warp Records (http://warp.net/) as confirmation of its composers: "Tonight at Movement main stage in Detroit @_Squarepusher headlines and something earlier".

[Jinsai]

so they did a listening party in the California desert today. The first four songs are streaming here: http://pitchfork.com/news/50901-boards-of-canada-are-hosting-a-tomorrows-harvest-listening-party-at-lake-dolores-waterpark-in-southern-california/

I have something fresh and green on its way over here as we speak (type). I love when days off work out this way.

[botley]

I'm at home, jacked up on weed & coffee, let's do this!

[Jinsai]

yeah... this is awesome

[exilajei]

Second half of this album is insanely good. Wow!

[BRoswell]

Fantastic album. Can't wait to get it!

[thefragile_jake]

Missed it due to work. :/
If anyone finds a stream rip, PM me please! EDIT: NEVERMIND!

[Maury]

It's so good. So so good.

[Jinsai]

It's so good. So so good.

I'm almost getting tired of saying "well, that's the best thing I've heard all year," but really, that might be the best album I've heard all year.

[Maury]

The combination of New Seeds and Come to Dust just blows me away.

And the beginning of the album keeps opening up in new ways. It's so excellent.

[thefragile_jake]

I really like it too, Palace Posy is amazing.

[botley]

Yup. It's good.

[blackholesun]

A great album. It sounds like them, but I feel it's a new direction for the most part. This is something special.

[Zipfinator]

Cold Earth and Nothing is Real are my favorites so far. The final track really reminds me of the Quake soundtrack.

[Clownboat]

I'm almost getting tired of saying "well, that's the best thing I've heard all year," but really, that might be the best album I've heard all year.
Even better than Exai? Damn, dude, now I really have to hear this.

[richardp]

This is absolutely their best album, hands down. I'm absolutely blown away by what they've accomplished on this album.

[Highly Psychological]

Was expecting after the huge gap that they would have evolved their sound somewhat artists tend to get stale constantly repeating their format after a while, but im surprised how much it does not bother me here. They keep finding ways to make what they do excellent. Their are about 4 astounding tracks and the rest are classic BOC. i really like it considering the fact it sounds almost exactly like everything they have done before but that's not a bad thing.

Loving Nothing is Real and Palace Posy the most. I think this is definitely their most direct less blurry 'warmest' if thats possible for them and most emotional work.

[Clownboat]

Leak is official! 256k Japanese iTunes version. I have some good shit coming in tomorrow, so I'm fighting for every fucking ounce of willpower not to listen to it until then. I'm beyond envious of you guys that have experienced this properly.

[thevoid99]

Uh.... I'll wait for a proper 320k version.

[BrewHa]

Tomorrow's Harvest is fucking incredible. My favorite bands are absolutely killing it this year.

[DF118]

This is really stunning. So much better a direction for Boards of Canada than The Campfire Headphase.

[xmd 5a]

It's a great album. Not sure it's Geogaddi great, but there's some truly stunning stuff in the mix. "Jacquard Causeway" and "Sick Times" are my personal highlights.

[Jon]

I've managed to hold off on a proper listen of this (I did hear the live stream). The Japanese edition is floating around, but I'd really like to hold off until I get my 24-bit files.

[orestes]

My god, I love this album.

[thevoid99]

I just heard it a few hours ago... fuck... it is amazing.

[blackholesun]

I'm trying not to overhype this album since it only came out a few days ago, but this may be my favorite BOC album. I guess I really won't know for a few years. This is why I love music.

[PQHooligan]

Can't wait for an extended mix of sorts for Palace Posy - wish the end went on longer - Split Your Infinities might be my favorite right now

I've listened to this entire album 5 times now in proper headphones and I am beyond thrilled this exists! :)

CD. I ordered it a couple of weeks ago with some other items that I have in-hand. Weird.

hmmm...maybe there was a delay with the CDs coming out of the warehouse? i ordered vinyl.

[Jinsai]

this is one of those cases where the vinyl copy sounds magically better than any digital version I've found

[cashpiles (closed)]

The most cohesive album Boards of Canada have ever produced. I feel like it is their masterwork. Something builds and develops throughout the album like a story unfolding. It's ominous, mysterious and even sad. The main theme reappears throughout the album.... Like the alien conspiracy on x files before it got cheesy.

[eversonpoe]

this is the third album i've felt this way about this year (the other two being ...Like Clockwork by QOTSA and Shaking The Habitual by The Knife): it is perfect. it flows seamlessly from beginning to end, and i feel changed when i come out the other side.

like ...Like Clockwork (but unlike Shaking The Habitual), the artwork is incredibly gorgeous, and all three also sound fantastic on vinyl.

[Scarlet Siren]

I've yet to listen to BOC, I'll lend my ear to them in a bit after I get set up at work.

These guys are from my hometown...

i don't know if i'd recommend starting with the new album...maybe start with campfire headphase, work backwards, and then listen to the new album.

The album made number 7 in UK album charts. Thats really rare for an artist of this calibre. the cult has grown massively!

I picked a remix EP today at my the la ameoba and there is one extra track by BOC. When I fly back home ill tell you guys what is think although you guys probably already heard it

[elevenism]

i'm back on this thread after a few months of listening to this album. it's great, but challenging...a little hard to listen to in a way, like Geogaddi. But it's rewarding. Anyway i wanted to ask if you guys think the album tells a story, and if so, what is the story about?

I think it does. I think it's about some sort of apocalypse and what the few survivors do in the aftermath. i can just SEE it.

[thefragile_jake]

Music Has The Right To Children got re-released on vinyl. I need to pick that up soon.

And, after the show, i walked up to meet the "live pa man/dj" guy in the group, Gel.
This was my first experience with Anticon ANYTHING. SO, i say to Gel: Man, you're REALLY badass. I love the music you're making. You know like, Boards of Canada..." and he cut me off saying, "Oh yeah, i know those guys. I just saw them a couple weeks ago."
I meant "you know boards of canada" as in "have you HEARD Boards of Canada," and was going to suggest that his work reminded me of them

I was fucking stunned, lol. That was one hell of a flex.

Out of respect for the secrecy, i just said "word, killer. You sound a bit like those guys," and didn't ask him any BoC questions- plus, i was 27, and wanted to seem I-C-E cold. A pretty girl had asked ME out to this particular show, so, i wasn't gonna fanboy over ANYTHING, you know? :P

SO!

Remixed by Boards of Canada- NOT Hell Interface.

Could we be seeing another BoC LP soon?

Good god, i hope so. And i hope it's not as fucking GRIM as the last one. I utterly adore everything they've ever put out, but Tomorrow's Harvest is just fucking depressing on another level.

Cool story! Also, I highly recommend listening to the other Nevermen remix they did back when the album came out in 2016.

I actually really like that record. It sounds like a John Carpenter soundtrack at times!

I need to revisit it.

I mean, I like sad music...obviously. Look where we are.
But that thing was just on a different LEVEL. I only listened to it a few times.

I DID make a badass clock out of the CD artwork, though.

[versusreality]

You make an interesting point though about the sound. The album came out around a "down" time period in my life, maybe that's why I connected with it. I haven't listened to it in a long time, maybe I should revisit as well.

[BRoswell]

It can definitely feel bleak at times, but it's an incredibly beautiful album in my opinion. For obvious reasons, I've listened to it a lot in the past year.

So, yeah, that scratches an itch in a place I didn't even know existed, hearing Mike Patton and Doesone trade grimy ass bars over Boards of Canada noises.

:p

[BRoswell]

This is another solid remix they've done:

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have Boards of Canada in their life.
