Boards Of Canada’s ‘Live Album Transmission’ crashes official website

Boards Of Canada's live album playback crashed their official website tonight (June 3). The live album transmission of Tomorrow's Harvest, their first full-length record in eight years, was greeted with phenomenal demand, causing an error message to appear on boardsofcanada.com. However, fans could still hear the album via the live YouTube feed, which was posted on their official Facebook.

Boards Of Canada to host “Live Album Transmission” on Monday, June 3

Boards Of Canada will hold a 'Live Album Transmission' for their new album 'Tomorrow's Harvest' on Monday (June 3). The group, who recently hosted an unusual album playback for the album involving two speakers in the middle of the desert, will host the mysterious broadcast at 9pm UK time.

Boards of Canada debut new album from two speakers in middle of Californian desert

Boards Of Canada have hosted an unusual album playback for their new record Tomorrow's Harvest, setting up two speakers in the middle of the desert and giving fans co-ordinates to find the music for themselves. The band, who debuted new track "Cold Earth" at Detroit's Movement Festival on Monday (May 26), hinted that something would happen after posting an image on Twitter yesterday indicating they had plans for 5pm US Pacific Time.

Boards Of Canada, “Tomorrow’s Harvest”: first listen

If, as internet speculation and promo footage imply, “Tomorrow’s Harvest” has a Cold War/atomic age subtext, Boards Of Canada’s focus is, as ever, long-range and aesthetic: less on the actual devastation wrought by nuclear weapons, more on nebulous creep and on the terrible beauty of a mushroom cloud when observed from a relatively safe distance. It’s a potentially glib way of toying with signifiers: Armageddon as nature documentary.

Boards Of Canada interviewed: “We’re too busy to give a shit!”

Been meaning to post this piece for a while, since the whole clandestine operation around the new Boards Of Canada album, “Tomorrow’s Harvest”, began. It’s an interview I did with the duo in February 2002, around the release of “Geogaddi”. NME billed it erroneously as “Boards Of Canada’s first ever interview” at the time, which was pushing it a bit…

The return of The Aphex Twin, and Caustic Window

Last year, Warp Records embarked on a campaign for Boards Of Canada's "Tomorrow's Harvest" comeback that was notable for its obtuseness. Unmarked 12-inches were hidden in record stores, strings of numbers and inexplicable broadcasts were strewn enigmatically across the internet. At one point, I recall some talk of red moons and feverish online triangulations pointing to a bookshop near Edinburgh as the centre of the universe. It was all fun, and the album at the end of it all was great, but perhaps it wandered a little off course as it went on.

The 20th Uncut Playlist Of 2013

Another week, another new issue to plug: after last week’s launch of our Nick Cave Ultimate Music Guide, I should flag up that this month’s Uncut goes on sale in the UK tomorrow, featuring Boards Of Canada, The Source Family, Mississippi Records, These New Puritans, Mark Kozelek, Thee Oh Sees and the “Origins Of American Primitive Guitar” alongside the marquee names.

Not sure how many of you braved the scrums of Ebay dealers on Record Store Day, but one of the more interesting things to come out of the whole business this year was the surreptitious return of Boards Of Canada.
