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.
