Boards Of Canada - Campfire Headphase

New Vinyl Record - Boards Of Canada - Campfire Headphase

For 2005's The Campfire Headphase, Boards of Canada took the lens flare electronics they'd made their name with and added treated guitars and bigger production values. The result is a colourful record that rolls like a VHS road movie. The twanging guitar on "Chromakey Dreamcoat" sounds like crossing a desert highway, while "Peacock Tail" is one of their most epic and transcendent moments, with its twinkling keys and lulling waves of synths. It's then followed up by the soaring atmospheres and big riffs of "Dayvan Cowboy." Penultimate track "Tears From The Compound Eye" is a gentle balm of static and delicate ambience, as moving as any film soundtrack. A rich and immersive album to sink into, filled with beautifully realized drama.
