Complete Guide to the New Album Tomorrow's Harvest
Now, all the mysteries are revealedâŠ!
On April 20, 2013, a new record by BOARDS OF CANADA was suddenly discovered at a record store in New York. Engraved on its title was:
"------/------/------/XXXXXX/------/------" accompanied by a short 20-second synth sound, a voice was recorded reading the number "936557". A series of mysteries followed from BOARDS OF CANADA leading up to the release of their first new work in 8 years, Tomorrow's Harvest.
With valuable interviews, we unravel the most important release of 2013!
Note:
Page two of this article has not been translated in full, but the following two articles provide a detailed overview of the viral marketing campaign that preceded the release of Tomorrow's Harvest.
Until Tomorrow's Harvest Was Released
Boards of Canada, who gained fame with their 1998 masterpiece Music Has the Right to Children, are mysterious electronic musicians from Scotland. After releasing Geogaddi in 2002 and The Campfire Headphase in 2005, they entered a long silence without live performances, interviews, or updates.
But on April 20, 2013, the silence was broken in a surprising way â a cryptic record was discovered in a New York record store. Here's a detailed timeline of the mystery and viral campaign that led to the release of their long-awaited album Tomorrow's Harvest.

BOC Speaks.
The Truth Behind Their First New Work in 8 Years, from the Reclusive Sages of the Music World
As explained on the previous page, Boards of Canada launched an elaborate and mysterious promotional campaign for their new release, Tomorrow's Harvest. Even before its release, the album had already generated considerable buzzâunderstandable, considering it's their first new work in eight years. Naturally, expectations for the actual music were extremely high.
However, this album makes it clear that the anticipation generated by the release process was merely a secondary factorâthe real focus is, unmistakably, the sound itself.
BOC is famously reclusive, rarely appearing in the mediaâand not just the media; even appearing before their fans is a rare event (they haven't performed live in about ten years).
This magazine was fortunate to obtain a rare opportunity to interview the two members, Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. Through their words, we hope to uncover the intentions behind this work, as well as the true meaning of their enigmatic promotional campaign that accompanied it.
"Why is the universe not chaotic, but orderly?"
After 8 long years, Tomorrow's Harvest has arrivedâBoards of Canada's long-awaited new album. With their distinctive sound that walks the line between nostalgia and unease, the Scottish duo Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin return with a darker, more structured vision than ever before. BOC have granted this magazine an exclusive interview that's now entering its most revealing phase. In this second half, Marcus and Michael speak candidly about the truth behind Tomorrow's Harvest.
Don't miss a word.
CHECK!!
Though it was a long interview, Marcus and Michael took the time to answer each question with sincerity.
They've long held a revered place as one of the most important acts in the world of electronica and IDM.
And yet, up until now, they've remained elusiveâenigmatic figures behind a mythic body of work. But this conversation gave us a rare glimpse of the people behind the music. Tomorrow's Harvest, the result of painstaking workâmeticulous concepting, constant redrafting of the big picture, obsessing over every single sound and its modulationâcan be considered BOC's most refined work to date. Unlike the dreamy, pastoral psychedelia of their past three records, Tomorrow's Harvest evokes a kind of decadent beautyâdeath and life, the end of worlds. It hums with a retro-futuristic sci-fi feeling, like the Cold War-era space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 70s. Where earlier albums felt like drifting through lucid dreams, this one feels more like boarding a time machineâor a spacecraft. In that sense, it may well mark a turning point for BOC. And as they hinted during the interview, the album is laced with double meanings and veiled implications. Paired with its cryptic, cinematic pre-release campaign, Tomorrow's Harvest invites you to peer into their deepest layers.
BOARDS OF CANADA â Tomorrow's Harvest
Out now from Warp Records / Beat Records
BOARDS OF CANADA is the electronic music duo of Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin.
They began making music in the 1980s and have released on Warp Records since 1998.
Their workâdreamlike, haunting, and mysteriousâhas earned them a devoted, almost cult-like global following.
Their sound blends IDM, ambient, and analog warmth, often evoking themes of memory, nature, and forgotten media. Known for albums like Music Has the Right to Children (1998), Geogaddi (2002), and The Campfire Headphase (2005).

BOC Visuals: The Art of Tomorrow's Harvest
The Japanese edition of the album includes three art cardsâall designed entirely by BOC themselves, just like the album cover. The imagery, inspired by the idea of a "near-future depopulated world," vividly conjures a post-civilization Earth. Yet curiously, the visuals are not drenched in despair. Instead, they evoke a calm sense of inevitabilityâlike a destiny long known, a nostalgic déjà vu of a world we somehow always expected. By gazing at the cards while listening, you're pulled even deeper into the world of Tomorrow's Harvestâan immersion both visual and sonic.
