[[Hooper Bay]] is the name of [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth known release. [[Hooper Bay]] introduced the use of children's voices (see [[Interviews#1998-04:_Jockey_Slut|Jockey Slut interview]]), a technique which would remain a staple of the band's style through the release of ''[[Geogaddi]]''. It has been said that the three longest tracks on the EP mark the beginning of the band's "mature phase".<ref>http://www.scaruffi.com/vol6/boardsof.html#boc</ref>

Of the EP's five tracks, only a 35-second excerpt of [[Circle]]<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s-LHQdQnsU</ref> (posted on the [[EHX]] website in the late 1990s) has been heard by those outside of the band's friends and family. A set of MP3s labeled [[Hooper Bay]] but with significantly shorter track times than the actual EP can be found on P2P networks; however, this set is mis-labeled and is not music by [[Boards of Canada]]. The track [[Seward Leaf]] is sometimes mistaken with mΓΉm's Slow Bicycle.
