Boards of Canada

Boards of Canada are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin, active since 1986. The duo's work, largely influenced by 1970s media, incorporates vintage synthesiser tones, manipulated analog equipment, samples, and hip hop-inspired beats. Critics have described their music as exploring themes related to nostalgia, childhood memory, science, environmental concerns, and esoteric subjects.

After releasing several early 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. A thirteen-year hiatus followed before the release of their fifth studio album Inferno (2026).
