Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)

Love how ~deep~ this sounds. Not going for the easier melodies.

Still waiting for Pharell tho

this is activating my imaginary northern California roads stretching to infinity like crazy. which is what I go to BoC for, so that's good.

omg - STAN! what is going on in that gif?!

It's dark, but not as dark as Geogaddi - it's melancholic, but not as melancholic as Music Has The Right To Children - it's not acoustic at all, like The Campfire Headphase never happened

that gif? I have no idea, to be honest. He's a soccer manager, I think, but he's either happy or angry at a result/goal/referee's decision?

The Campfire Headphase never happened afaic

I think it is darker than Geogaddi tbh, less melody based, more emphasis on the dark undercurrent, the mood.

had to step away for a phone call and when I came back this album basically turned into the greatest fucking thing

This is the first track kind of breaking the spell for me. Still ace though.

Otm DJP!

This track is what I imagine 90's Thomas Dolby records to sound like

That'd be awesome to listen to. '10s Dolby as well

maybe I'm prejudiced because I made that Triple Suns connection earlier, but I'm getting a Coil vibe every now and then

That transition between tracks just now -- really nice.

I LOVE how they do sad & warm at the same time. I know it's been their thing earlier on as well, but they still know how to do it.

Ha, this HAS to be the Michael Mann soundtrack number Elvis T. mentioned.

The beatless one that just finished - wow!

/me doesn't cancel his preorder (okay, I never was going to but still)

This sounds like something M83 dug up from the earth, cleaned and polished it up all shiny, and pass it on as something original from themselves.

Last track had strong Schnauss vibes, too

This last one, the one ET was talking about?

And done!

ET?

the ending is sublime

yeah the bit with the flying bikes? Goosebumps

See you all in 2020 for the next one!

probably going to play this lp 100 times so i won't venture any more for the time being

45 Mins in, I guess not.

I wish I paid more attention to the song breaks (I was just letting it, and the desert all just wash all over me), but about 45 min in there's a fantastic bit with sounds like an idling helicopter and drones of urban dread. I kept thinking about it would be the perfect soundtrack for a Michael Mann movie.

The first half was brilliant and the second half was better.

StanM - exactly, it was strong all the way but picked up even more towards the end.

I think the ET track was before that. But it's all a hazy blur now.

How awesome, it is so silent now and the music just keeps echoing in my head.

damn forgot about this completely

You didn't miss much, it sucked.

What do we predict? 8.8 Best New Music?

I missed all but the last few seconds of this, dang it. Was it a one-time thing or will it be repeated before the album release?

One time only, yeah. But release date in Japan is June 5th and Germany & Australia June 7th. Warp may upload the mp3s to your bleep account any day now to prevent sharing if you preordered there, some people speculate. Nothing confirmed yet.

In that case, you're welcome.

Regarding the soccer reaction gif: That's Miguel 'Piojo' Herrera. He's the coach of Club America, one of the most popular mexican teams, and believe it or not, he's actually celebrating.

*presses play*

p cool that universal studios put this out

ears hadn't rly been moved to perk up until 'palace posy' (can we stop acting like all these song titles arent fucking woeful btw)

It's sort of a letdown for me, sounds too much like a 90s warp throwback. Don't know what I was expecting, though. As of this moment the only tracks that have caught my attention are cold earth and palace posy.

Boards of Canada in sounding retro shock!

They've always been retro but in their own particular way. Hard to pin a specific era... they just seemed to be channeling a past from a parallel dimension and that was a big part of their appeal, the undistilled nostalgia ready to adhere to whichever memory you please. In this record, though, they're being more specific, at least to my ears. Autechre, Aphex Twin, Plaid... They seem to be clinging to warp's golden years and it ends up sounding dated and uninspired.

futurism's passé, baby

who wants to go to the future, everything will just be more shit then
