A IS TO B AS B IS TO C

Thoughts on the new Boards of Canada record- The Campfire Headphase:

Astute readers will recognize the name of this blog as being a track from Geogaddi...needless to say BOC are quite important to me.

I think the new record is much more Twoism than Geogaddi, and I'm really enjoying it. Its considerably less dark than their previous effort, but all the typical Boards characteristics -- melody, texture, and painstakingly detailed beats that still sound jiggy -- remain. My initial favorites are Dayvan Cowboy (shoegazey!) and Peacock Tail. More thoughts to come as I take more of it in.

In the meantime- I think this is one of the finest tracks they've ever done. Enjoy...
