    Ep. 47 - Boards of Canada: "Tomorrow's Harvest"
    Aug 9 2025

    Pete and Brian share a listening experience that none should take lightly: Boards of Canada's fourth and last(?) studio album, "Tomorrow's Harvest" (2013). The mysterious Scottish duo is renowned as vanguards of "intelligent dance music", but craft soundscapes and sonic experiments that cross genres. "Tomorrow's Harvest" is a concept record in many ways, and we'll explore some of the lore and the emotions it conjures. Be warned - it's not easy listening, but the challenges Boards of Canada throw can lead to revelations!
