Boards of Canada
Definition
Boards of Canada is a Scottish electronic music duo formed by brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, renowned for their ambient, downtempo soundscapes evoking nostalgia, vintage media samples, and warped psychedelia.
The name 'Boards of Canada' draws inspiration from the National Film Board of Canada, reflecting their use of archival footage-like audio aesthetics in tracks from albums like 'Music Has the Right to Children' (1998).
