Yup, the list of artis
ts making a welcome return in 2013 grows ever longer (I’ve just taken delivery of the latest releases from David B
owie, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Camera Obscura on vinyl. Yum!) To the list we can add Boards Of Canada who will release their first album in ten years, Tomorrow’s Harvest, on June 10.
There have been all sorts of bizarre stories doing the rounds, playbacks in the desert, people paying $5,000 for 12″ singles with 20
seco
nds of music on it…I’m just glad to see the Scottish duo back, frankly.
The first track to do the rounds is the really rather lovely ‘Reach For The Dead.’ And whilst to the uninitiated that might sound like a metal track, it is a fine and welcome reminder of the sort of excellent electronica that Boards of Canada do oh so very well.
Give yourself five minutes to listen to this. If it doesn’t whet your appetite for the new record, shame on you.

1. Gemini
2. Reach for the Dead
