Description
Boards Of Canadas third album for Warp Records, The Campfire Headphase, was released in 2005. The album featured fifteen tracks, including “Peacock Tail”, “Chromakey Dreamcoat,” and “Dayvan Cowboy”.
Blurring the boundaries between rock and techno is a smart move, because BoC have always made music that deserved to appeal beyond the electronic audience. You can imagine fans of My Bloody Valentine/Cocteau Twins-style dreampop falling head over heels for … Headphase, or devotees of the Cure and Radiohead wallowing in its exquisitely textured melancholy. BoC can also be seen as heirs to the psychedelic tradition, grandchildren of Syd Barrett and the Incredible String Band. The connection comes through not just in the duo’s obsession with childhood or their frankly goofy song titles, but also in the stereophonic delirium of their production. On ‘Oscar See Through Red Eye’ and ‘Slow This Bird’, sounds pan back and forth across the speakers, the drift and swirl making you melt into a voluptuous disorientation. via The Guardian
