Who is number five?

BOARDS OF CANADA…..TOMORROW’S HARVEST

So who the heck is this?
They are Scottish
Two brothers
Marcus and Matt
make
electronic music

Strange introduction
Like an old video game
Or championship anthem that
Kicks off the weary
And desolate noises of isolation
Yet there’s beauty all over this record

Nostalgia
Natural
Ambient
Hypnotic
Analogue quality
Vinyl crackles
Atmospheric
Subliminal messages
Cryptic
Supernatural

It’s been
8 years in the making
Codes precluded its release

Album cover image of a foggy L.A.
Life deteriorating in front of us
Life is like listening to a cassette tape
Over and over again
Until it crumbles
Or watching a VHS Tape
Repeatedly
When suddenly it breaks
It’s holding on to memories
And then recreating that sound
That feeling
That presence
Of a forgotten era

The song entitled, REACH FOR THE DEAD
(The track you are about to hear)
Is a beautiful display of release

My stepfather in law, Mark, passed away
Just after it’s release
This music got me through the grief

When I want to zone out
I listen to this…it heals my pain
It comforts my loneliness
