Description
A masterpiece ambient album depicting an apocalyptic world by the singular duo essential to discussing electronic music since the 1990s.
The fourth album by the Scottish brother duo Boards Of Canada, Tomorrow's Harvest. Having influenced many artists beyond the boundaries of IDM and ambient with Music Has The Right To Children and Geogaddi, this work, completed after a long production period, strongly reflects the influence of 1970s and 80s film music and library music.
While retaining the nostalgic and warm sound found in their previous works, this album ventures into a more richly shaded world. Hazy synths, textures reminiscent of degraded VHS footage, and quietly pulsing rhythms intertwine, developing cinematic soundscapes that evoke desolate landscapes and fragments of memory on tracks such as "Reach For The Dead," "Jacquard Causeway," and "Cold Earth."
While often described as an apocalyptic work due to the title Tomorrow's Harvest, the duo themselves explain it as a depiction of "an inevitable stage of the future." It can be said to be an album that expresses themes such as environmental change, the passage of time, and human memory not through words, but through sound itself.
A work that condenses the world unique to Boards Of Canada, creating a deep sense of immersion through melody, space, and distinctive textures. Crossing ambient, IDM, and downtempo, it is an important work in contemporary electronic music that evokes new scenes no matter how many times you listen to it.
