Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Boards of Canada are an electronic music duo formed of two Scottish brothers, Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin. [1] They are known for their ambient-downtempo-psychedelic-trippy sound constructed by a combination of electronic and normal instrumentation with Trip Hop-influenced beats and samples of old seventies media (their name is a nod to the documentaries produced by the National Film Board of Canada, which they were heavily influenced by as their family moved to Canada during their childhood), giving their music a more pastoral and human character compared to other purely synthetic electronic bands. A frequent metaphor/comparison among reviewers is that their music sounds like "the last sounds of a dying machine from The Seventies that just got recently excavated," or something along those lines. |
