ARTIST(S): Boards of Canada
LABEL: Warp
RELEASE DATE: JUNE 10



BOC are one of the pioneering artists that hooked the majority of the people I know, including myself, on electronica. It’s been some years since sitting around with friends and taking turns to get up and flip the record only to settle back into our assumed positions until the needle settled back into an infinite dead spiral. Putting some time aside again for this release would be more than apt.

The teaser piece that’s been put out, ‘Reach For The Dead’, is an example of relevant electronic music. I’m not saying that lightly and it’s void of any subtle undertones of pretentiousness because it’s the emotive textures that define how we relate to ourselves when something like this smothers your consciousness. If you haven’t caught it already – ‘Reach For The Dead’
