In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country

Boards of Canada

Four tracks of sun-drenched pastoral electronic music. Warped analog synths and dusty beats mask a darker, haunting fascination with isolation and cult history.

November 27, 2000 · Warp Records

A sun-bleached, pastoral serenity that feels increasingly unsettled by shadows of the past.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, mechanical clicking of a slide projector that anchors the rhythm of Kid for Today.
The unsettling contrast between the lush, inviting synth pads and the vocoded invitation to join a religious community on the title track.
The way the rhythmic pulse of Zoetrope feels like a spinning wheel that never quite reaches its destination.
