Boards of Canada are a Scottish electronic music duo consisting of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin. After releasing several 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. Their fifth studio album Inferno is scheduled to be released in May 2026, their first new release in 13 years. The duo’s work, largely influenced by 1970s media and electronic music, incorporates vintage synthesiser tones, manipulated samples, analog equipment, and hip hop-inspired beats. Critics have described their music as exploring themes related to nostalgia, childhood memory, science and mathematics, environmental concerns, and esoteric subjects. The duo have been described as cryptic and reclusive; they have made extensive use of subliminal messaging in their music, used alternate reality games for promotion, rarely grant interviews and have not performed live since 2001.
